Song by Cowboy Junkies<br /><br>
He searched for those wings that he knew<br>
that this angel should have at her back<br>
And although he can't find them<br>
he really don't mind<br>
because he knows they'll grow back<br>
And he reached for that halo that he knows<br>
that she had when she first caught his eye<br>
Although his hand came back empty<br>
he's really not worried<br>
'cause he knows it still shines<br>
<br>
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings<br>
or keep this tarnished halo shined<br>
but I'll never betray your trust<br>
angel mine<br>
<br>
I search all the time on the ground<br>
for our shadows cast side by side<br>
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy<br>
that you exist and are mine<br>
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real<br>
as that smile in your eyes<br>
But I have to keep touching and smelling<br>
and tasting for fear it's all lies<br>
<br>
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings<br>
or keep this tarnished halo shined<br>
but I'll never betray your trust<br>
angel mine<br>
<br>
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps<br>
with your voice in my head<br>
And I could tell by your breathing<br>
that you were still sleeping<br>
I repeated those words that you had said<br>
<br>
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings<br>
or keep this tarnished halo shined<br>
but I'll never betray your trust<br>
angel mine<br>
 <br>
