Face like an angel
with tears in her eyes
the memory of someone she knew
crept up behind her
caught her by surprise
so I just said the one thing I knew:
Still waters run deep
and deeper still
the thing called loneliness
a broken heart
can never be healed
nor even killed
The first is madness
and the second part
makes you cry like an angel
an angel who is lost to God
When you cry like an angel
nothing changes
nothing changes
There’s nothing to keep
and keeping still
won’t fill that emptiness
it’ll stop your heart
And just when you think
you’ve had your fill
the well of sorrow overflows
(sorrow overflows)
and you cry like an angel
an angel who is lost to God
When you cry like an angel
nothing changes
nothing changes
All the time and emotion
you invested’s just a drop in the ocean
’cause you did it all for you
and he did it all for him
and the sweetest songs
they got it wrong
when they said you could fall in love again
so you cry like an angel…
like an angel…
