Angel by Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it ok
There’s always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep through my veins
and maybe empty and weightless
then maybe I’d find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of your straight life
and everywhere you turn
there’s vultures and thieves at your back
storm keeps on twisting
keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
don’t make no difference
escaping one last time
it’s easier to believe
in this sweet madness
oh this glorious sadness
that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

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