Angel in the Shadows -

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

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
