my shine is white i ride the light
i let my wings decide where i go
i fly around and see the town and
watch the people go with the flow
i single out just one by one
and follow them an hour or so
but when i saw you baby
i just knew i couldn't let you go
cos this is the time
this is the place
i'm just an angel
but you'll never stay
so i lie alone
scared to the bone
so cold and i'm far away from home
cos this is the time
this is the place
i followed you a week or two
i never let you out of my sight
i slept right next beside you
and i kept an eye on you through the night
if you could see things from my view
i'm sure you'd understand what i mean
i would cut my strings i would clip my wings
if only you could see what i've seen
cos this is the time
this is the place
i'll always love you
but you'll never stay
so i lie alone
scared to the bone
so cold and i'm far away from home
cos this is the time
this is the place
time flies by so fast when you have fun
like silver bullets from a gun
so tired of being on the run
nice angels have no fum
cos this is the time
this is the place
i'll always love you
but you'll never stay
so i lie alone
scared to the bone
so cold and i'm far away from home
cos this is the time
this is the place
there are no angels
where i gotta stay
so i lie alone
scared to the bone
so cold and i'm far away from home
and this is the time
this is the place
i let my wings decide where i go
i fly around and see the town and
watch the people go with the flow
i single out just one by one

i just knew i couldn't let you go
