Something's watching over me
   There's someone in
   My house that I can't see
   I've asked her many times to leave
   She tells me she's not evil
  
   In my hours of confidence
   When feeling real and
   Worthy of my friends
   When I let go of my defence
   She's waiting in a corner
  
   Angel of sadness
   Leave me alone
   Save me some hours
   To try on my own
   When the music is over
   The silence is on
   You know I will be yours alone
   So pick me up
   And carry me home
  
   Life with her is getting hard
   It's like I'm not the
   Driver of my own car
   I'm not the holder of my credit card
   Oh Jesus, make me sober
  
   Misery comes and lovers go
   I lose myself and
   Sometimes I don't know
   She says I've always told you so
   But I'll stay with you forever
  
   Angel of sadness
   Leave me alone
   Save me some hours
   To try on my own
   When the music is over
   The silence is on
   You know I will be yours alone
   So pick me up
   And carry me home
  
   Angel of sadness
   Angel of grief
   Save me some hours
   Then please can you leave
   When the music is over
   The silence is on
   I'll be completely on my own
   But I'll work it out
   And find me a home
