Lyrics

"Angel Waiting" - Regarding Jack

Stuck inside a silent reverie, it's not up to me
I've got something for your soul
Sister, it's all over finally, I can get to sleep
Now and forever more
All the pictures hanging on the wall, I didn't take 'em all
No, most of them took me
Way out far beyond the reach of the memories of this war

I hope there's an angel waiting for me
But I fear something different is at my door
If ever an angel soars above me
I'll beg it, have mercy and make me fear no more

I see the image of a castaway; yeah he's trapped away
Oh, staring back at me
Through a window on the promenade, as I serenade
In his name
I'll open up every portal; foolish mortals
Where were you then, when I needed you?
As they all need you just the same

I hope there's an angel waiting for me
But I fear something different is at my door
If ever an angel soars above me
I'll beg it, have mercy and make me fear no more
