Blood Of An Angel
Circle II Circle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just can’t seem to get out of the rain
I’m getting tired of running from the pain
I could I start again
Hoping you would see
But I’ve been blind
You could see the future
Close enough to know
To make it through another day
There I go again
Getting lost in thoughts of you
You’re the morning light
The stars that shine
Everything inside
I see you standing there
Then you disappear from view
A vision that I never will forget
The blood of an angel
There I go again
Getting lost in thoughts of you
You’re the morning light
The stars that shine
Everything inside
I see you standing there
Then you disappear from view
A vision that I never will forget
The blood of an angel
I guess I had what I was looking for
Then it slipped away forever more
All the questions now surrounding what’s
In store
Things are different now
I’m searching for a way
To pass the time
You still hold the future
Stay with me
Forever needs to wait
For all the things I didn’t get to say
