I used to watch her sleep an angel on vacation
I fell in love so deep far too far to mention
She looked just like a thousand stars
When they came out at night
But when I looked inside her heart
I found it locked up tight

Oh angels never help you
'Cause angels always fall

She smoked a cigarette
It only blurred my vision

I couldn't help but stay
With my first impression
I'm wondering with every breath
What caused my fall from grace
I guess I beat myself to death
Against her lovely face

Oh angels never help you
'Cause angels always fall

And angels (it's simply that I never knew her)
Sometimes kiss you (wish to God that I had known)
Oh but angels (but everything that I remember)
Never call (is gone)

Oh angels (it's simply that I never knew her)
Never help you (wish to God that I had known)
'Cause angels (but everything that I remember)
Always fall (is gone)

And angels (it's simply that I never knew her)
Sometimes kiss you (wish to God that I had known)
Oh but angels (but everything that I remember)
Never call (is gone)

I used to watch her sleep - an angel on vacation...
