Pour yourself a glass of wine and listen to me cry
I sometimes think thats all you need to get by
Arm yourself with hurtin' words
shield yourself with tears
it a perfect war so take my flag
and fill me with all of your fears
now I hate myself and I hate you too
and you walk right through the light
like you had
the wings of an angel
It took some time till I could see the places I went wrong
though our rocking chairs have faded
somehow you still carry on
though it's hard to see.... .... Baby
may you ride with him
on the wings of an angel
believe in all the prophecy's
and hopes for the promised land
trade in all your luxuries
for the freedom of unbottled sand
trade your mind in for religon
trade in your spirit for fear
give up all love has to offer
for a gun and a future thats clear
may god carry you back home
on the wings of angel
So pour yourself a glass of wine and listen to me cry
I sometimes think thats all you need to get by
Arm yourself with hurtin' words
shield yourself with tears
it a perfect war so take my flag
and fill me with all of your fears
now I hate myself and I hate you too
and you walk right through the light
like you had
the wings of an angel
may you ride with him
on the wings of an angel
may god carry you back home
on the wings of an angel
