Demons And Angels Lyrics - Close To The Edge - Diamond Rio

He swore it was over and all in his past 

A few hours later his hand's 'round a glass 

A voice on the left says, There's peace in the wine 

From the right a voice whispers, Don't do it this time 

When he looks for the answer down in his heart 

Demons and angels tear him apart 

She calls his name softly as she lies in their bed 

Listens for footsteps and prays for the best 

She knows that he loves her, knows that he tries 

But if he comes home drinking, she'll leave him tonight 

She waits for the answer and cries in the dark 

While demons and angels tear him apart 

For so long, they've fought for his soul 

The whiskey and the woman at home 

And they all know he must choose 

The winner alone 

There's not much that's sweeter than a new life begun 

Ain't much that's sadder than a promise undone 

He stares at the bottle, longs for her arms 

While demons and angels tear him apart 

When he looks for the answer down in his heart 

There's demons and angels that tear him apart
