My shine is white I ride the light

I let my wings decide where I go

I fly around and see the town and

watch the people go with the flow



I single out just one by one

And follow them an hour or so

But when I saw you baby

I just knew I couldn't let you go



Cos this is the time

This is the place

I'm just an angel

But you'll never stay

So I lie alone

Scared to the bone

So cold and I'm far away from home

Cos this is the time

This is the place



I followed you a week or two

I never let you out of my sight

I slept right next beside you

And kept an eye on you through the night



If you could see things from my view

I'm sure you'd understand what I mean

I would cut my strings I would clip my wings

If only you could see what I've seen



Cos this is the time

This is the place

I'll always love you

But you'll never stay

So I lie alone

Scared to the bone

So cold and I'm far away from home

Cos this is the time

This is the place



Time flies by so fast when you have fun

Like silver bullets from a gun

So tired of being on the run

Nice angels have no fun



Cos this is the time

This is the place

I'll always love you

But you'll never stay

So I lie alone

Scared to the bone

So cold and I'm far away from home

Cos this is the time

This is the place

There are no angels

Where I gotta stay

So I lie alone

Scared to the bone

So cold and I'm far away from home

And this is the time

This is the place
