what made me think that you were different
what made me think that you were heaven sent
or hell bent on turning my world on it’s head
breathing life into the dead
did I misinterpret those signs I read
and every word you said
between the devil and the deep blue sea
I lost ground looking for my angel
between the gravel and the sweet soft earth
that beckons me
I fell down looking for my angel
what made me think that you could package happiness
and send it special delivery to this address
and I would be delivered from my grief
and I would reconsider my belief
that love had forsaken me
has love forsaken me
between the devil and the deep blue sea
I lost ground looking for my angel
between the gravel and the sweet soft earth
that beckons me
I fell down looking for my angel
a friend she said you’ve got to try
well if wishes were horses
then beggars would truly ride
I’m down on my knees with a galloping heart
and a fence between me and the wide open sky
oh I’m still looking for my angel
