Angel Mine Lyrics by Cowboy Junkies

Angel Mine

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
cause 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
