[Verse 1]
I used to watch her sleep
An angel on vacation
I fell in love so deep
Far too far to mention
She looked just like a thousand stars
When they came out at night
But when I looked inside her heart
I found it locked up tight
[Chorus]
Oh angels
Never help you
'Cause angels
Always fall
[Verse 2]
She smoked a cigarette
It only blurred my vision
I couldn't help but stay
With my first impression
I'm wondering with every breath
What caused my fall from grace
I guess I beat myself to death
Against her lovely face
[Chorus]
Oh angels
Never help you
'Cause angels
Always fall
And angels (It's simply that I never knew her)
Sometimes kiss you (Wish to God that I had known)
Oh but angels (But everything that I remember)
Never call (Is gone)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Angels (It's simply that I never knew her)
Never help you (Wish to God that I had known)
'Cause angels (But everything that I remember)
Always fall (Is gone)
And angels (It's simply that I never knew her)
Sometimes kiss you (Wish to God that I had known)
Oh but angels (But everything that I remember)
Never call (Is gone)
[Outro]
I used to watch her sleep
An angel on vacation
