I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I'm lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I'm loving 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 loving angels instead
When I'm feeling 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 feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
does an angel contemplate my fate

and I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
CHORUS: And through it all she offers me protection

whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall

I know that life won't break me
when I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak

and I know I'll always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows

and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
