Waiting for Angels Songtext
von The Dodge Brothers

How long does it take an angel
To fly to New York City
Depends on where they start
From Detroit or from your heart
I′ll wait and listen
For sounds in the distance

How long does it take an angel
To fly to New York City
Depends on the wind
And the sorry state I'm in
Oh hush I believe I hear wings

I remember, I remember
She couldn′t build it all alone while the soul was movin' on
Lost her in St. Louis
Left me in St. Paul
Now the cold chain of heartache
Has me thinking of it all


How much to call an angel
From a booth in New York City
Through a shot glass on a dime
She appears from time to time
I could dial that number
If I could only remember

She'll remember, she′ll remember
Couldn′t build it all alone
While the soul was movin' on
I got fond of freedom
And careless with my love
Now the cold chain of heartache
Has me reaching for the stars

Winds blow
Fires glow
Embers die in the night

How long does it take an angel
To fly to New York City
Depends on the wind
And the sorry state I′m in
Oh hush I believe I hear wings
