C G / Am F / C G F G
54 angels, one for each year
Carried her into the atmosphere
I imagine her still, as free as a bird in the air
Down here on Earth I stumble around
Some days I’m lost not sure I’ll be found
Tied like some medieval beast to a stake in the ground
Chorus
Am G F x 2 / Am F G F
Oh I flail and roar at all of the torments I feel
The gods look down passive just another ordinary ordeal
I guess that it’s true but that don’t change the way that I feel
Heaven & Earth, body and soul
Oh how I long for those walls to dissolve
To step into the forever now and to have her to hold
But it’s only in dreams can I slip through those walls
And only for seconds see her beckon and call
Before the morning light spears through the gloom to pin me to the floor
Chorus
I flail and roar at all of the torments I feel
The gods look down passive just another normal ordeal
I guess that it’s true but that don’t change the way that I feel
54 angels, one for each year
Carried her into the atmosphere
I imagine her still, as free as a bird in the air
