Angel On The Roof

Maybe I don't understand it 
Maybe I was never meant to know 
I heard he had the whole world in his hands now 
But everything is still out of control 

Maybe it's his way of explaining 
Maybe he's just showing me the way 
He gave the gift of love when I was lonely 
Then he went and took that gift away 

Now all the true believers say that she'll come back again 
But no one ever shows me the proof 
And when you hear the thunder growing louder than the rain 
They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof 

Maybe I'm not meant to question 
How it is that this has come to be 
The dream that I built at his suggestion 
Has completely failed as far as I can see 

Now all the true believers say that she'll come back again 
But no one ever shows me the proof 
And when you hear the thunder growing louder than the rain 
They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof 

And signs say call on Jesus, save yourself from sin 
But right now I'd rather have a hangover than have to talk to him 

Maybe I don't know the answer 
Maybe now someday I shall be saved 
But since he took her from this bed and blessed her 
I see nothing but a mattress and a grave 

Now all the true believers say that she'll come back again 
But no one ever shows me the proof 
And when you hear the thunder growing louder than the rain 
They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof 
They'll tell you it's an angel on the roof
