Angel
Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it okay
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction - oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight...
In the arms of the 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 here.
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escape 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 the 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 here.
In the arms of the angel; may you find some comfort here.
The Song Remembers When
Trisha Yearwood
I was standing at the counter, I was waiting for the change
When I heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart
After taking every detour, getting lost and losing track
so that even if I wanted to I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us, the song remembers when.
We were rolling through the Rockies, we were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment, and the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along
And there was a God in Heaven, and the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love, and we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden, it was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about it, the song remembers when.
I guess something must have happened, and we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken, though I can't recall just why...
The song remembers when.
Well, for all the miles between us, and for all the time that's passed
You would think I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are
But that's just a lot of water underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking around corners I have turned
Still I guess some things we bury are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten, the song remembers when.
