Angel On My Side

(album: Times Of Our Lives - 1982)

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,
Thinking it would last,
All my hopes had vanished in the past.

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark,
Drifting away with the tide.
God only knows how I made it back home.
I must have an angel on my side.

In the morning 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 living, what was there to find?
I wanted just a little peace of mind.

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark,
Drifting 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 lightning coming right at me,
One day I just know I woke up free.
The day was breaking, I was living,
I couldn't tell you why,
First I laughed and then I learned to cry.
Something in my heart was saying you can reach the sky,
You just gotta live until you die.

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