Story Behind The Song
Heart wrenching lament as in losing a child or spouse, how do you go on? What kind of life is left and how do you pick up the pieces? Or maybe you don't. Does a place exist where you can see and hear from the other side? Or will you forever be trying? Is life worth living without this special person, or is it as the song says "'cept for the dyin'. well I'm already gone..."

Lyrics
1. Wanderin' through this world all alone, livin' here without you well I have no home;
I'm like a ghost with my soul torn out, and every day you still haunt this house.
2. I hear my footsteps, but they make no sound, my shufflin' feet don't even mark the ground; The rain is fallin, but I don't get wet, and where I'm goin' I ain't ever comin' back.
Chrs Lookin' for an angel, to help me fly-
Tryin' to find an angel, in the cold december sky-
Hopin' for an angel, to help me spread my wings-
One little angel might change everything.
3. Driftin' along by the side of the road, I'm like a shadow with nowhere to go;
I know your an angel, been lookin' everywhere, maybe God forgot me and he don't care...
4. I can't see you, so I must be blind, I can feel you near me but your so hard to find... show me the way, 'cause I can't go on, 'cept for the dyin' well I'm alread gone...
