She comes home to me after a hard night's work Falls into my arms and sleeps like a bird And startled, wakes up, like she don't know me Draws her arm back like she's going to slug me Who are you anyway, and what are you doing to me?
She's an angel, but she can't feel it She got wings, she can't see 'em She's an angel, she can't feel it But she's flying over me every day Every day of my life
Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them She carries the chains of a million decisions That weren't really hers to begin with anyway But she carries them all, all the people around her Never even notice that she's very very tired
She's an angel, but she can't feel it She's got wings, but she can't see 'em She's an angel, she can't see it But she's flying above me every day Every day of my life
