Robbie Williams - Angels

My yoga teacher has this song as part of an iPod mix that she uses for classes. It's cold and dark and rainy out in L.A. today and it seems like a good tune for curling up in front of a warm fire. Except I have no fireplace so I'll substitute a gas heater and hope my angel drops a concrete block on the head of the moron who keeps slamming the laundry room door...



Angels

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate ?
and do they know
the places where we go
when we're grey and old?
'Cuz I've been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I’m lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead,
I’m loving angels instead.

And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I’m right or wrong...
And down the waterfall
wherever it may take me,
I know that life won't break me
when I come to call she won't forsake me,
I’m loving angels instead.

When I’m feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street,
I look above
and I know I'll always be blessed with love.
And as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead.

And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I’m right or wrong...
And down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
when I come to call she won't forsake me,
I’m loving angels instead
