Angels

I step outside and make my way on from Carolina

Anyway the weather blows, home is where I find you

With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more

Oh, I just wanna see you there, sleeping on my floor

I don't really like you, I just wanna kiss you

I don't know how to love you, but somedays, I miss you

Oh, I just wanna see you there, sleeping on my floor

With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more

I'm calling on angels now

I want them to set me free

I hope that theyre real, cause sometimes it feels

Like nobody's listening

When I was only twelve years old, my parents went walking

I hate those wicked words they'd say when they started talking

He was headed for the open road, she turned and slammed the door

Learning love ain't easy child, when all you see is war

I'm calling on angels now

I want them to set me free

I hope that theyre real, cause sometimes it feels

Like nobody's listening

And the moon and the sun and the stars shine bright and high

And I can't help but wonder the way that the world goes by

I hope that they're real, and I hope they can hear me cry

Pulling all the fences down and pushing on the levies

This waters getting raggy and these hands are getting heavy

And we are all just hypocrites lying for a shore

With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more

She came and shook me tenderly one night when I was drinking

The alcohol was quick as sand and took me down to sinking

The sinking took me praying and I fell upon the floor

I said I'm waiting for my time to go, please tell it to me, lord

I'm calling on angels now

I want them to set me free

I hope that they're real, cause sometimes it feels

Like nobody's listening

And the moon and the sun and the stars shine bright and high

And I can't help but wonder the way that the world goes by

I hope that they're real, and I hope they can hear me cry

I'm not sure if they're real, but I'll wait for them 'till I die
