Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He searched for those wings that he knew that this angel
Should have at her back
And although he can't find them he really don't mind 'cause
He knows they'll grow back
[Verse 2]
And he reached for that halo that he knows that she had
When she first caught his eye
Although his hand came back empty, he's really not worried 'cause
He knows it still shines
[Verse 3]
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
[Verse 4]
I search all the time on the ground for a shadow's
Cast side by side
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy
That you exist and are mine
[Verse 5]
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real
As the smile in your eye
But I have to keep touchin' and smellin' and tastin'
I fear it's all lies
[Verse 6]
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
[Verse 7]
Last night I woke from the deepest of sleeps
With your voice in my head
And I could tell by your breathing that you were still sleeping
I repeated the words you had said
[Verse 8]
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
[Verse 9]
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
