Angels of the Silences

Counting Crows · Live In New York City-1997 [2012]

Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand

Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?

I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now

Where'd you come from? Where am I going?

Why'd you leave me 'til I'm only good for...?



Waiting for you

All my sins -

I said that I would pay for them if I could

Come back to you

All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming



Every night these silhouettes appear above my head

Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed

And whisper

Every time I fall asleep

Every time I dream

Did you come? Would you lie?

Why'd you leave us 'til we're only good for...?



Waiting for you

All my sins -

I said that I would pay for them if I could

Come back to you

All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming



I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed

Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book

Suck my blood, break my nerve

Offer me their arms

Well, I will not be an enemy of anything

I'll only stand here



Waiting for you

All my sins -

I said that I would pay for them if I could

Come back to you

All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming



I'm gone, I'm gone

I'll leave today, I'm gone

I'm gone, I'm gone

Take me away, I'm gone

I'm gone, I'm gone

I'll leave the day

I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm gone
