The Hitman Blues Band - Angel in the Shadows lyrics

I've been awake too many nights Waiting for sleep to overtake me Carried my load down that long winding road The one that I swore wouldn't break me Time is going faster Days slipping by She's here, and still I don't know why She my Angel in the Shadows My hero on the run Keeps me holding on When all the hope is gone I got caught up in the riptide Was lost out at sea She's the Angel in the Shadows for me I spend my days with a smile on my face Oh, I keep my friends amused But late at night, all the memories crowd back in Of people, using and misused And yes, I've been forsaken And yes, I've been alone And looking for a light to guide me home She my Angel in the Shadows My hero on the run Keeps me holding on When all the hope is gone I got caught up in the riptide Was lost out at sea She's the Angel in the Shadows for me And if confusion follows me And debt and worry keep me company When nobody knows the pain inside of me She knows And when I get to thinking Of how things might have been Of mistakes made, again and again and again She my Angel in the Shadows My hero on the run Keeps me holding on When all the hope is gone I got caught up in the riptide Was lost out at sea She's the Angel in the Shadows for me
