i sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know the places where we go
when we're gray and old?

'cause i've been told that
salvation lets their wings unfold,
so when i'm lyin in my bed
thoughts runnin through my head,
and i feel that love is dead
i'm lovin angels instead

CHORUS
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 won't break me
when i come to call
she won't forsake me
i'm lovin angels instead

when i'm feelin 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 feelin grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
i'm lovin angels instead

CHORUS-repeat
