When the night comes I can hear you whispering
You're telling me it's cold where you are
Lately you're the only one who's listening
Truth is I don't believe anymore

Angel on my shoulder, it could not be you
Children growing older, friends you never knew
Wish we could have told her, all the things we knew
Angel on my shoulder

I just might follow you (cherub imminent)
(When we meet down in the garden of earthly delights)
Show me where the angels have been christening
(Saving souls was always cleaner than a sacrifice)
Look like Luci, how you're always glistening
(Close my eyes and reach my hands out just to feel you close)
Lately you're the only one who's listening
(Kisses my eyes with affection, just before she goes)

Angel on my shoulder, it could not be you
Children growing older, friends you never knew
Wish we could have told her, all the things we knew
Angel on my shoulder

See the best of
See the best of me
See the best of me

Angel on my shoulder, it could not be you
Children growing older, friends you never knew
Wish we could have told her, all the things we knew
Angel on my shoulder
