Lyrics

I met this girl
She was walking through one of my dreams
She kissed my eyes
And everything that she said
Made so much sense to me
That I still feel like half asleep

My dark angel
She gave me diamonds for eyes
She walked by
Now I’m hypnotised
By this dream
That just won’t stop

And I feel
Like I’ve always been lost in this dream
The rumours of heaven
Only speed the truth on Earth

My dark angel
Shine your light on my curse
You are the other that I have to find
Until I do I guess I’ll see you ’round my mind

So Colorado
Is a place I have to go
I heard a rumour
She loves the mountains and the snow

My dark angel
She gave me diamonds for eyes
My dark angel
I offer you my heart
My dark angel
I think I loved you from the start
Cause there’s this face I know
That I’ve never seen
Sometimes I feel like I’m livin’ in
Someone else’s dream
Still I’d like to thank you
For stoppin’ to talk
And I wonder
Just into who’s dream did who walk
Oh my dark angel
Shine your light on me
Shine your light
Shine your light
On me
