lyrics

There beyond this side of danger, where victory seldom lurks in sight,
there is alone the troubled angel, who rides away into the night.

She's got no hesitation, when it comes to what she's lost, but there's an expectation she can't bear at any cost.

And you sit and wonder how it feels to be so unafraid, you can
see the future now, and wonder why you couldn't stay.

If loneliness is not the reason for that suspicious look of gloom, the
soldiers stand accused of treason every time you leave the room.

If there's a face across the nation who can read between the lines, and offer up no explanation as to what he'd hope to find.

And you find it hard to get along in a world not figured in to what you
thought had seemed so strong, to what you thought was sure to win.

So all you distant strangers who come to ride salvation's train, won't
you help the troubled angel before she finally goes insane.

What's that, you say you don't believe me, the power keeps on shining through, she'd pledge the night, she wouldn't leave me, she'd make a head case out of you.

And you sit and you wonder now how it feels to be okay. You can see the future now, and wonder why you couldn't stay.
