I sit and wait does an angel contemplate my fate and do they know the places; Where we go when we're grey and old'cos I've been told that salvation lets their wings unfold; So when I'm lying in my bed thoughts running through my head; And i feel that love is dead I'm loving angels instead; And through it all he offers me protection a lot of love and affection; Whether I'm right or wrong and down the waterfall; Wherever it may take me I know that life won't break me; When I come to call he won't forsake me I'm loving angels instead; When I'm feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street I look above; And I know I'll always be blessed with love and as the feeling grows; He breathes flesh to my bones and when love is dead; I'm loving angels instead.
