Judy Collins - Angel on My Side lyrics

There was a time when the clocks all stopped When the world just went away, I didn't know if it was night or day. I didn't know if there were clouds or fire in the sky, I didn't want to live if I could die. Somewhere down the line I found myself up on that road, Where the devil led me, I would go. I had sold my soul for pleasure, Thinkin' it would last, All my hopes had vanished in the past. Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark, Driftin' away with the tide. God only knows how I made it back home. I must have an angel on my side. In the mornin' I'd wake up and shake my weary head, Wonder where I'd been and what I'd said. Was I on the River Styx for all eternity? Would I drown forever in the sea? Why did anyone keep livin', what was there to find? I wanted just a little peace of mind. Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark, Driftin' away with the tide. God only knows how I made it back home. I must have an angel on my side. Never had a flash of lightnin' comin' right at me, One day I just know I woke up free. The day was breakin', I was livin', I couldn't tell you why, First I laughed and then I learned to cry. Somethin' in my heart was sayin' you can reach the sky, You just gotta live until you die. Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark, Driftin' away with the tide. God only knows how I made it back home. I must have an angel on my side. I must have an angel, I must have an angel, I must have an angel on my side.
