Lyrics
In my shadow, there stands an angel;
He's been with me my whole life long.
And I know he waits in the darkness,
Like the sun waits for the dawn.
As a child, I saw him clearly;
I grew older, and he started to fade.
When I cried out, "Why are you leaving?"
He said, "You are the one who turned away."
Angel,
Is it time to go home?
Angel,
I can see you now,
I can see -
You have been my faithful companion;
Now the day's turning into the night.
Should I follow you into the shadows,
Will you lead me into the light?
Angel,
Is it time to go home?
Angel,
I can see you now,
I can see you . . .
In my shadow, there stands an angel.
