Angel Mine Lyrics - Lay It Down - Cowboy Junkies

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
