lyrics

I was thinkin bout my future
Trying hard to catch a break
I was sinkin in my misery
Nothing to give but everything to take

But then one day, you caught my eye
This broken man may survive

The pushers are down on Broad Street
Trying to sell me another pill
I've been helpless with my habits
It's been many years since I had a will

But you came round and picked me up
You poured your soul into my dirty, worn-out, lifeless, empty cup

Been a thousand moons since the darker days
I've been cleansed and changed my ways
I gave the reaper just a little more time
So I can keep it between the lines

You're my angel, you're my life
Maybe someday I'll make you a gorgeous, gracious, wonderful, beautiful wife
