Angel Above My Bed

Sharing your lyrics can mean sharing parts of you that are meant to be private. A little like leaving your diary open. I think some of the best, most compelling lyrics can be found in the truth...and let's face it - we all have many truths depending on the moment and the perspective from which we choose to see.

Angel Above My Bed lyrics were written many years ago, when I was struggling to break a cycle of my own design. A cycle which made joy seem out of my control. This is among my favorite lyrical compositions because it reminds me how powerful we are, so much so in fact, that we can make ourselves believe we are not. When Steve brought life to my words and made them music, well, I did a happy dance...a JOYFUL dance!

Angel Above My Bed

I'm not the one you're speaking to

It looks like me, I'm sure to you

I'm living here as if it's real

But none of this is how I feel

CHORUS

Angel above my bed

Won't you let them know just what I said

That I'd be happy going home instead of here

Happy to be going home

The only way I feel is dead inside

And I'm sad for what I've let slide by

I can't look at you and sit idly by

While I take your should and sip by and by

CHORUS

Angel Above my bed

Won't you let them know just what I said

That I'd be happy going home instead of here

Happy to be going home

And this ain't no place for no one

The only thing I get done is cry

No this ain't no place for no one

The only thing I get done is cry

CHORUS

Angel above my bed

Won't you let them know just what I said

That I'd be happy going home instead of here

Happy to be going home
