Heaven Knows (This Angel Has Flown)

There are times

When I'm lying in my bed

How I bellow and cry

From this stupid get

And my eyes are like windshields

On a rainy day, almost rubbed out

Swelling, as I keep on

Digging my face in these cold hands of mine

Heaven knows how embittered I am

'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? Ah

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 fumes I make

Still I light another cigarette

Just to pass my time, oh

Heaven knows how embittered I am

'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?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
