Lyricist: Sarah McLachlan Composer: Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance,
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough,
And it's hard, at the end of the day
I need some distraction,
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty,
Oh, and weightless,
And maybe I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference,
Escape one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here
