I used to stand in your garden
And watch the clouds of summertime rain
In the distance over haybarns and cornfields
I wonder do you remember my name
Through the silence you could see out past the telegraph lines
As the lightning in sheets crossed the skies
I could see the wild flowers growing in the meadows
And the trees swaying in the breeze
The air in the evening was like rosewater
And we’d watch as the thunder clouds rolled
Never new it then but we were just starting
We would never see those days come again
Everybody needs an angel
And everybody’s got a devil by their side
Everybody needs an angel
I got this devil but he won’t take me this time
I carry a deathshead on my shoulders
And a devil inside
But my angel she walks right here beside me
I know that one day I’ll come back
I know that one day I’ll come back
I carry a death’s head on my shoulders
And a devil inside
But my angel she walks here beside me
I know that one day I’ll come back
One day I’ll come back
One day I’ll come back
