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 
'Cause 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 

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 

I'm loving angels instead, ohhh oh yeah 
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
