Angel got her wings all caught up in the wire,
She came down here to comfort me,
But I was out with the night flyer,
Now don't you try to shelter me,
If you can't help yourself,
You need a cure and love alone,
Is all that's going to help;

CHORUS:
You've been hiding from the light,
Hiding from the light etcetera.

Nightbird paints her face so innocent and pale,
And speaks to me so kindly,
With her heart set in full sail,
Beauty Queens chase futile dreams,
And leave the jack at home,
Yet here lies such a sweet bird,
So sad and flying alone;

She's been hiding from the light,
Hiding from the light etc.
