Angel

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos

 Spend all your time waiting
 for that second chance
 for a break that would make it okay
 there's always one reason
 to feel not good enough
 and it's hard at the end of the day
 I need some distraction
 oh beautiful release
 memory seeps from my veins
 let me be empty
 and weightless and maybe
 I'll find some peace tonight

 in the arms of an angel
 fly away from here
 from this dark cold hotel room
 and the endlessness that you fear
 you are pulled from the wreckage
 of your silent reverie
 you're in the arms of the angel
 may you find some comfort there

 so tired of the straight line
 and everywhere you turn
 there's vultures and thieves at your back
 and the storm keeps on twisting
 you keep on building the lie
 that you make up for all that you lack
 it don't make no difference
 escaping one last time
 it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
 this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

 in the arms of an angel
 fly away from here
 from this dark cold hotel room
 and the endlessness that you fear
 you are pulled from the wreckage
 of your silent reverie
 you're in the arms of the angel
 may you find some comfort there
 you're in the arms of the angel
 may you find some comfort here
