Over the Rhine - Thank You My Angel lyrics

Thank you my angel For blessing me With these words and for giving me What I was hungry for Taste of dirt From the floor of heaven Thank you my angel For cutting off my hands Forbidding me To trace the lines of this miracle Across the great divide For making love a foreign language Thank you my angel For fluttering Out my window for telling me All those lies about myself It was your way of bandaging the bleeding Thank you my angel For the clutter of my life For dragging me To the edge of the wilderness To lie here by myself Just outside the land of promise
