Angel's Work

I said another prayer to you

Third one today

Another like the other two

A simple act of faith

Forgive me if my words intrude

I know that you've got things to do

Heaven knows no setting sun

An angel's work is never done

You'd think I'd get it right by now

But here I am again

My knees are bent and my head is bowed

And braced against the wind

Swayed by any passing breeze

I need the roots of taller trees

Heaven knows no setting sun

An angel's work is never done

When I was a younger man

I'd turn away a helping hand

And my two feet would take a stand

Till trouble, then away they ran

Measured by a zero sum

Where losers lost and winners won

I'd tell 'em all where they could go

And me with no direction home

And on my final brand-new start

I'll say my last goodbye

I won't be bullied by the dark

Safe on the other side

Trouble, catch me if you can

'Cause I won't have to give a damn

Heaven knows no setting sun

An angel's work is never done

Trouble catch me if you can

'Cause I ain't gonna give a damn

Heaven knows no setting sun

An angel's work is never done
