BLACKBIRDS: Music

Waitin' on an Angel

(BLACKBIRDS)

This is a one-take wonder, mistakes and all. I'm thinking of leaving it just as it is, even though you can hear lots of extraneous noise (I think there's a studio cat meow in there somewhere)
Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come an' see me soon
'Cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone

Now angel won't you come by me?
Angel hear my plea
Take my hand lift me up
So that I can fly with thee
So that I can fly with thee

And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won't be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms, arms

So speak kind to a stranger
'Cause you'll never know
It just might be an angel come
Knockin' at your door
Knockin' at your door

And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won't be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms, arms

Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come an' see me soon
'Cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone

Don't want to go alone
