Angel On The Roof

Angel On The Roof - Del Amitri

Maybe I don't understand it

Maybe I was never meant to know

I heard he had the whole world in his hands now

But everything is still out of control

Maybe it's his way of explaining

Maybe he's just showing me the way

He gave the gift of love when I was lonely

Then he went and took that gift away

Now all the true believers say

That she'll come back again

But no one ever shows me the proof

And when you hear the thunder

Growing louder than the rain

They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof

Maybe I'm not meant to question

How it is that this has come to be

The dream that I built at his suggestion

Has completely failed as far as I can see

Now all the true believers say

That she'll come back again

But no one ever shows me the proof

And when you hear the thunder

Growing louder than the rain

They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof

And signs say call on Jesus

Save yourself from sin

But right now I'd rather have

A hangover than have to talk to him

Maybe I don't know the answer

Maybe now someday I shall be saved

But since he took her

From this bed and blessed her

I see nothing but a mattress and a grave

Now all the true believers say

That she'll come back again

But no one ever shows me the proof

And when you hear the thunder

Growing louder than the rain

They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof

They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof
