There are times when I′m lying in my bed

How I bellow and cry from this stupid game

And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy dayAlmost rubbed-down, swelling

As I keep on dipping 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

I did what I did because I love her so

Will she ever find her way back home to me? Oh

I′m so tired, I feel like catching 40 winks

Being up all night in this elbow room

That puts me in a trance

Where hopes and dreams come true

Now, my lips (my lips) are burning

And my eyes are hurting

From these 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

I did what I did because I love her so

Will she ever find her way back home to me? Oh
