"Heaven Knows (This Angel Has Flown)" lyrics

There are times
When I'm lying in my bed
How I bellow and cry
From this stupid gate
And my eyes are like windshields
On a rainy day
Almost rubbed-down, swelling
As I keep on
Digging my face in these cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how embittered I am

'Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings and made her mine
For all eternity
Now, this angel has flown away from me
Thought I had the strength to set her free
Did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me?
Aah...

I'm so tired
I feel like catching forty winks
Being up all night in this elbow room
That puts me in a trance
Where hopes and dreams come true
Now, my lips are burning
And my eyes are hurting
From these fumes I make
Still I light another cigarette
Just to pass my time, oh
Heaven knows how embittered I am

'Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings and made her mine
For all eternity
Now, this angel has flown away from me
Thought I had the strength to set her free
Did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me?
Aah...
