about

This song is inspired by actual events, and is informed by the original "Wings of Desire". For what that's worth.

lyrics

It's 4a.m. in a city where no one knows my name
The emergency room where I've gone to stop the bleeding
Ain't no big deal, a couple stitches are all I'm needing
So patch me up and put me back in the game.

But the helplessness in that E.R., you could taste it
The sobs of a baby, the stony faces of her mom and her dad
Praying for someone to help their baby was all that they had
Not a lot of hope, but you know they had to chase it.

So where is the angel to come to take her pain away
Where is the angel to take away her fear
Guess all them Angels must be busy doing something Elsewhere
'Cause all I know is, there's no angels here

10,000 miles from home in a place he can't even spell
He's tough enough, but now he's cut off and alone
They're closing in and a bullet's just smashed a bone
And he's wondering if his folks will ever know where he fell

So where is the angel to come to take his pain away
Where is the angel to take away his fear
Guess all them Angels must be busy doing something Elsewhere
'Cause all I know is, there's no angels here

It might be nice to have something bigger to believe
I want to be good, I wish I knew how to help
But I can hardly look after myself
Don't want to watch you cry so I'll turn around and leave

So where is the angel to come to take your pain away
Where is the angel to take away your fears
If you're looking for an Angel, you best be looking Elsewhere
'Cause all I know is, there's no angels here
