[Verse 1] I step outside and make my way on from Carolina Any way the weather blows, home is where I find you With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more Oh, I just wanna see you there, sleeping on my floor [Verse 2] I don't really like you, I just wanna kiss you I don't know how to love you, but somedays, I miss you Oh, I just wanna see you there, sleeping on my floor With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more [Chorus] And I'm calling on angels now I want them to set me free I hope that they're real 'cause sometimes it feels Like nobody's listening [Verse 3] When I was only twelve years old, my parents went a-walking I hate those wicked words they'd say when they started talking He was headed for the open road, she turned and slammed the door Learning love ain't easy, child, when all you see is war [Chorus] And I'm calling on angels now I want them to set me free I hope that they're real though sometimes it feels Like nobody's listening [Verse 4] And the moon and the sun and the stars shine bright and high And I can't help but wonder the way that the world goes by But I hope that they're real and I hope they can hear me cry [Verse 5] Pulling all the fences down and pushing on the levees This water's getting high again, these hands are getting heavy And we are all just hypocrites lying for a shore With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more [Verse 6] She came and shook me tenderly one night when I was drinking The alcohol was quick as sand and took me down to sinking The sinking took me praying and I fell upon the floor I said I'm waiting for my time to go, please tell it to me, Lord [Chorus] And I'm calling on angels now I want them to set me free I hope that they're real though sometimes it feels Like nobody's listening [Verse 7] And the moon and the sun and the stars shine bright and high And I can't help but wonder the way that the world goes by But I hope that they're real and I hope they can hear me cry I'm not sure if they're real, but I'll wait for them till I die
