Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would 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
Oh 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
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping 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
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

This song was played and choreographed at my sister's celebration of life service. It brings out so many emotions that I know I will think of my sister every time I hear it. She p****ed away March 31st and I miss her so much already.

I haven't seen my children in 7 months and I am lost and heartbroken. This song is so beautiful and means so much. The words are all I feel!

for your information, the word that I wrote wasn't s u c k, but s k i l l. I don't know if s k i l l is a bad word for you, everybody's speak english, but in the french tongue, s k i l l can say "habileté": Quelque chose qu'une personne possède qui lui permet d'effectuer une action difficile.

Nobody can hate this song according to me. Or if they hate it, they don't love the things that it remember them. This city of angels' sound gets out the bad emotion in us and that's in this type of song that we look the s**** of the beautiful Sarah Mclachlan.
