I know it? s not the first time I? ve been on my knees before And I know I swore last time I won? t be drinking anymore Lord, I must confess I fell a time or two And I know with every swallow I took another piece of you My angel's gettin' tired Of always hangin'? round And although she? s got wings to fly I? ve kept her on the ground When I look into her loving eyes I see the distant fire She? s still holding on But my angel's gettin' tired I had your forgiveness And that still amazes me Your love held us together But this time how can it be? That you still love me, angel And believe I? ll see the light Oh, and I can see the damage Of so many sleepless nights My angel's gettin' tired Of always hangin'? round And although she? s got wings to fly I? ve kept her on the ground When I look into her loving eyes I see the distant fire She? s still holding on But my angel? s gettin' tired My angel? s gettin' tired
