I sit and wait 
does an angel contemplate my fate 
and do they know 
the places where we go 
when weґre grey and old 
ґcos Iґve 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 she 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 wont break me 
when I come to call she wont 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 ill always be blessed with love 
and as the feeling grows 
she breathes flesh to my bones 
and when love is dead 
I'm loving angels instead 

and through it all she 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 wont break me 
when I come to call she wont forsake me 
I'm loving angels instead
