Angel
If I were an angel, I would wrap my wings around you
You say you'd burn them to ashes"¦But I say, I say,
I'd do it anyway - I say, I'd do it anyway
But I am not an angel, no wings to fly away
But I can wrap you in my blanket,
and keep you warm and safe.
Oh, I am not an angel, I cannot lift you from your pain
But I can kiss you softly in the darkness and watch you drift away.
I say, I say, I'd do it anyway - I say, I'd do it anyway
If I were an angel, I shine so brightly on you
You say my light would be wasted"¦But I say, I say,
I'd do it anyway - I say, I'd do it anyway
But I am not an angel, I cannot give you holy sight
But I can whisper one word sentences deep inside the night
Oh, I am not an angel, I cannot keep you safe from harm
But I can cry for you at daybreak, blinded by the rising sun
I say, I say, I'd do it anyway - I say, I'd do it anyway
If I were an angel, I would wrap my heart around you
You say my world would be broken"¦But I say, I say,
I'd do it anyway - I say, I'd do it anyway
But I am not angel, I cannot heal you down inside
But I can crumble tears down upon your chest, to keep your heart alive
Oh, I am not an Angel I cannot give you what you need
But I can hold you tightly to me; you can listen to me breath.
I say, I say, I'd do it anyway - I say, I'd do it anyway"¦
