There are times when I'm lying in my bed
Hug my pillow and cry from this tip again
And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day

Almost rubbed down, swelling, as I keep on
Dipping my face in these cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how bitter I am


Chorus
'Cause this angel has flown away from me

Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings and made her mine
For all eternity

Now this angel has flown away from me
Thought I had the strength to set her free
Did what I did because I love her so

Will she ever find her way back home to me
Aah?


I'm so tired, I feel like catching forty winks
Being up all night in this elbow room
That puts me in a trance

Where hopes and dreams come true
Now my lips are burning and my eyes are hurting
From this fuse I mixed till I light another

Cigarette just to pass my time, oh
Heaven knows how bitter I am


(Repeat chorus)
