Angel
by Sarah McLachlin

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay

There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release

Memory seep from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back

Storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe

In this sweet madness

Oh this glorious sadness

Brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
