Angel

Depeche Mode · Delta Machine [2013]

The angel of love was upon me

And, Lord, I felt so small

The legs beneath me weakened

I began to crawl



Confused and contented

I slithered around

Revel is beyond me

I was lost, I was found



The angel of love was upon me

And, Lord, I felt so weak

I felt the tongue move in my mouth

And I began to speak



A strange kind of language

I don't understand

A babbling fountain

I couldn't have planned



Oh, leave me here forevermore

I've found the peace I've been searching for



The angel of love was upon me

And, Lord, I felt so high

I swear I could've reached up

Placed my hands upon the sky



A radiant rainbow

Was following me around

With elevated senses

I can see and taste sound



The angel of love was upon me

And, Lord, I felt so clean

Like a preacher on Sunday

My heart was serene



I waded into the water

I was bathed, I was drowned

Like the sinners before me

I knelt down on the ground



Oh, leave me here forevermore

I've found the peace I've been searching for



Oh, let me sleep forevermore

I've found the peace I've been searching for,
