sunday is gloomy,

my hours are slumberless,

dearest,

the shadows i live with are numberless

little white flowers will never awaken you

not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you

angels have no thought of ever returning you

would they be angry if i thought of joining you

gloomy sunday

sunday is gloomy

with shadows i spend it all

my heart and i have decided to end it all

soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad,

i know,

let them not weep,

let them know that i'm glad to go

death is no dream,

for in death i'm caressing you

with the last breath of my soul i'll be blessing you

gloomy sunday

dreaming

i was only dreaming

i wake and i find you

asleep in the deep ofmy heart

dear

darling i hope that my dream never haunted you

my heart is telling you how much i wanted you

gloomy sunday

Angel

    ----by Sarah McLachlan

 

 

Spend all your time waiting

for that second chance

for a break that would make it okay

there's always one reason

to feel not good enough

and it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

oh beautiful release

memory seeps from my veins

let me be empty

and weightless and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an 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 there

so tired of the straight line

and everywhere you turn

there's vultures and thieves at your back 

and the storm keeps on twisting

you keep on building the lie

that you make up for all that you lack

it don't make no difference

escaping 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 an 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 there

you're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort here
