Jimmy Lee Hook & The Long Island Sound

Lyrics

Verse:
I can't see the future, but I can see the past.
I can see every mistake, and every stone that I have cast.
Through every swim in murky waters, and every line that I have crossed.
With every rule that I have broken, and every treasure I have tossed.
I've had an angel on my shoulder.

Chorus:
Angel on my shoulder, never lets me down.
Wings made of gold, with her platinum gown.
Sings me songs and speaks to me, but never makes a sound.
I hope the angel on my shoulder sticks around

Verse:
I've been called failure, I've been ridiculed and mocked.
I’ve had the doors of love slammed in my face, & the latches have been locked.

Chorus:
But yet that Angel on my shoulder, never lets me down.
Wings made of gold, with her platinum gown.
Sings me songs and speaks to me, yet never makes a sound.
I hope the angel on my shoulder sticks around.

Bridge:
Angel on my shoulder and a fire in my chest.
Something wise giving me the eyes to see what is coming next.
I've got that Angel on my shoulder.

Verse:
When the road was paved with boulders, or when I could not even find the road.
When the world was on my shoulders, and I could not bear the load.

Chorus:
I had that Angel on my shoulder, never lets me down.
Wings made of gold, with her platinum gown.
Sings me songs and speaks to me, yet never makes a sound.
I hope the angel on my shoulder sticks around.
Angel on my shoulder.
Angel on my shoulder.
