An Angel Somewhere
(from the CD An Angel Somewhere)
I never felt more like singing the blues
Than I did today
I never felt more like packing it in
And just running away
You wake up alone and look at the wall
And light up a cigarette
But I know there's an angel somewhere
I just haven't found her yet.
I never felt more like crying out loud
How much does a man have to pay?
I never felt more like running away
And falling on my knees to pray
But it's closing time and that's the time I take
One last drink to forget
But I know there's an angel somewhere
I just haven't found her yet.
There's a million girls in the city
Driving me out of my mind
But the one that the Lord intended for me
That's the one I keep trying to find.
I never felt more like hanging my head
And having a real good cry
I never felt more like staying in bed
And kissing the world good-bye
I sold my soul to the devil
To try to get my heart out of debt
But I know there's an angel somewhere
I just haven't found her yet.
I never felt more like falling in love
Than I did tonight
I never felt more like having some kids
And starting up a brand new life
It's time to turn another page
It's time to place another bet
And I know there's an angel somewhere
I just haven't found her yet.
There's a million angels in heaven
Just behind heaven's door
But the one that the Lord intended for me
That's the one I came down here for.
