Now the music is playing
 In a whiskey saloon
 It comes through my window
 Like a favorite tune

 I can walk down the stairway
 I can walk down the street
 And lay down my money
 But it's not what I need

 Let me fly on your wings
 Rise above these earthly things
 Make it all be alright
 Angel of the night, angel of the night

 There's a weight on my shoulder
 That won't let me be
 Like something left over
 Between you and me

 I know there's a danger
 Whenever we touch
 It's always the last time
 But it's never enough

 Let me fly on your wings
 Rise above these earthly things
 Make it all be alright
 Angel of the night, angel of the night

 Let me fly on your wings
 Rise above these earthly things
 Make it all be alright
 Angel of the night

 Let me fly on your wings
 Rise above these earthly things
 Make it all be alright
 Angel of the night, angel of the night
