Angel Mine - Cowboy Junkies
He searched for those wings
that he knew
that this angel should have
at her back
And although
he can't find them
he really don't mind
because he knows
they'll grow back
And he reached for that
halo that he knows
that she had when
she first caught his eye
Although his hand
came back empty
he's really not worried
because he knows
it still shines
I can't promise that
I'll grow those wings
or keep this tarnished
halo shined
but I'll never betray
your trust angel mine
I search all the time
on the ground
for our shadows cast
side by side
Just to remind me that
I haven't gone crazy
that you exist and are mine
And I know that your skin is
as warm and as real
as that smile in your eyes
But I have to keep touching
and smelling
and tasting for fear
it's all lies
I can't promise that
I'll grow those wings
or keep this tarnished
halo shined
but I'll never betray
your trust angel mine

Last night I awoke from
the deepest of sleeps
with your voice in my head
And I could tell
by your breathing
that you were still sleeping
I repeated those words
that you had said
I can't promise that
I'll grow those wings
or keep this tarnished
halo shined
but I'll never betray
your trust angel mine
I can't promise that
I'll grow those wings
or keep this tarnished
halo shined
but I'll never betray
your trust angel mine
