The Angel Song
Ezio Lyrics

I dreamt I was in heaven
The singer recalls a dream where they were in heaven.

And I was sitting in a bar
In the dream, the singer was in a bar with other angels.

With all the other angels,
The bar was full of angels.

You were smoking a cigar
One of the angels was smoking a cigar.

One hand on your hip
The cigar smoking angel had one hand on their hip.

And one foot on a chair
The cigar smoking angel had one foot resting on a chair.

And a golden ostrich feather
The cigar smoking angel had a golden ostrich feather in their hair.

That was planted in your hair
The feather was nestled in the cigar smoking angel's hair.

And if I really were an angel,
The artist considers what they'd do if they were an angel.

I'd float over your bed
As an angel, the artist would float above someone's bed.

Each night a different dream of me
The singer would give the person a different dream every night.

I'd plant inside your head
The dreams would be planted in the person's mind.

And if I were an angel,
The singer continues to reflect on what they would do as an angel.

I tell you what I'd do
The singer is about to share their plan.

I'd appear in a vision
The singer would appear in a vision to the person.

And I'd give my wings to you
The artist would give their wings to the person in the vision.

And I'd say "come closer
The artist describes what they would say to the person in the dream.

Fly into the light
The singer encourages the person to fly towards the light.

And please, please don't be stupid
The singer implores the person not to be foolish.

Let me sleep tonight
The artist asks the person to let them sleep.

And please don't be stupid
The artist repeats their plea for the person not to be foolish.

Let me sleep tonight"
The artist repeats their request for the person to let them sleep.

I dreamt you were a Jinni
The singer now remembers a different dream where the person was a Jinni.

And I found you in the sand
The artist found the Jinni in the sand.

And you were trapped inside a bottle
The Jinni was trapped inside a bottle.

And I held you in my hand
The singer held the bottle with the Jinni inside.

And you said you'd grant me wishes
The Jinni promised to grant the singer's wishes.

If you were ever freed
The Jinni would only grant wishes if freed from the bottle.

I said "an empty head when I go to bed
The artist tells the Jinni their only wish is to have an empty mind at bedtime.

Is all I ever need"
The singer emphasizes how simple their wish is.

So I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word
The singer let the Jinni out of the bottle, expecting them to grant their wish.

And you laughed the cruellest laugh that I had ever heard
Instead of granting the wish, the Jinni laughed in a cruel manner.

And you said "about these wishes, it's too late to decide"
The Jinni tells the artist it's too late to change their mind about their wish.

But I remembered that it was my dream, so I put you back inside
The artist remembers that it's their dream, so they put the Jinni back in the bottle.

I dreamt I was a pirate
The singer recalls yet another dream where they were a pirate.

Aboard a pirate ship
The dream involved the artist being on a pirate ship.

And for a hand I had a hook
The singer had a hook for a hand in the dream.

And for a heart I had a whip
The singer's heart was represented by a whip in the dream.

And you were trapped inside your bottle
The Jinni was still trapped in the bottle in this dream.

And I kept you down below
The artist kept the Jinni below deck on the ship.

And you begged me to release you
The Jinni pleaded with the artist to be let out of the bottle.

But I would not let you go
The singer refused to let the Jinni out of the bottle once again.

One night I was awoken
The dream took a strange turn when the singer was awoken.

While we were out at sea
The pirate ship was still at sea when the artist was awoken.

By a floating apparition
The artist was visited by a ghostly figure who appeared to float.

Glowing incandescently
The ghostly figure glowed brightly.

And I could see you clearly
The singer could clearly see the Jinni in the bottle.

As all around was black
The rest of the dream was blacked out or shrouded in darkness.

And you tore off both your wings, said
The Jinni ripped off their wings and said something to the singer.

"Hey now you can have them back!"
The Jinni returns their wings to the singer as a gift.

No you said "please don't be stupid
The singer recalls the Jinni begging them not to be foolish.

Let me sleep tonight
The Jinni asks the artist to let them sleep.

Tonight, tonight"
The Jinni repeats their request for the artist to let them sleep.
