Angel On My Side Lyrics - Judy Collins

There was a time when the clocks all stopped 

When the world just went away, 

I didn't know if it was night or day. 

I didn't know if there were clouds or fire in the sky, 

I didn't want to live if I could die. 

Somewhere down the line I found myself up on that road, 

Where the devil led me, I would go. 

I had sold my soul for pleasure, 

Thinkin' it would last, 

All my hopes had vanished in the past. 

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark, 

Driftin' away with the tide. 

God only knows how I made it back home. 

I must have an angel on my side.

In the mornin' I'd wake up and shake my weary head, 

Wonder where I'd been and what I'd said. 

Was I on the River Styx for all eternity? 

Would I drown forever in the sea? 

Why did anyone keep livin', what was there to find? 

I wanted just a little peace of mind. 

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark, 

Driftin' away with the tide. 

God only knows how I made it back home. 

I must have an angel on my side. 

Never had a flash of lightnin' comin' right at me, 

One day I just know I woke up free. 

The day was breakin', I was livin', 

I couldn't tell you why, 

First I laughed and then I learned to cry. 

Somethin' in my heart was sayin' you can reach the sky, 

You just gotta live until you die.

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark, 

Driftin' away with the tide. 

God only knows how I made it back home. 

I must have an angel on my side. 

I must have an angel, 

I must have an angel, 

I must have an angel on my side.
