He built the windows high
and said it would last forever
he'd stare all night at the empty sky
to keep his thoughts together
to see the angel once again
she came to him back when
his life was full of promise
and he swore that he had all he needed then
swore it would last forever
to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again
he wouldn't let her go
he swore it would last forever
she said that his love was a dead man's love
draining the life from another
to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again
and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
if you're gonna live your life like that
[to see the angel once again]
it's gonna let you down
if you're gonna live your life like that
[to see the angel once again]
it's gonna let you down
and you won't see the angel
[to see the angel once again]
see the angel once again
