blue angel #9

someone looking down on me, over my shoulder
takes me safely home, when i don't know where i'm going
all the restless nights, i wander the earth like a dying light

tries to get me back, to the straight and narrow
when i'm falling to the earth, like a wounded sparrow
all the greyest days, try to take my faith away

i can't see you anytime
but i know you're there
i know the signs
i believe you're on my side
saved again
by blue angel number 9

i'm still alive enough, to tell you the tale
there was no way to win, until i learned to fail
i'm indebted to one, who won't let me come undone

i'm still chasin' down a dream, i still want to matter
though my words are hard to hear, in this roar of chatter
but i'll be getting along, even though i might go wrong

i can't see you anytime
but i know you're there
i know the signs
i believe you're on my side
saved again
by blue angel number 9
