Angel

Eurythmics

Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul
(Come to save her soul)
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime, well past bedtime

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no one can tell her
What to do now

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singin' live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul
(Come to save her soul)
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime, well past bedtime

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

Close your eyes
And go to sleep
Forever in my arms
I'll keep you safe
Forever
I'll keep you safe

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

    Lyric CorrectionThe Lyrics are for the wrong song. They are actually:
    Underneath this canopy of snow
    Where fifty-seven winters
    Took their toll
    Where did you go?

    And I believed in you
    I believed in you
    Like Elvis Presley
    Singing psalms on a Sunday
    (Where did you go?)

    Well she's gone to meet her maker
    Back to where she came from
    Come to save her soul...
    Come to save her soul...
    Come to take her home
    'Cause it's late and past
    Your bedtime
    Well past bedtime

    Angel
    My angel
    Fly over me
    Angel...

    She took her life
    Within her hands
    She took her life
    Within her own two hands
    And no-one can tell her
    What to do now

    And I believed in you
    I believed in you
    Like Elvis Presley
    Singin live from Las Vegas
    (Where did you go?)

    Well she's gone to meet
    Her maker
    Back to where she came from
    Come to save her soul...

    General CommentWith the lines

    "She took her life
    Within her hands
    She took her life
    Within her own two hands
    And no-one can tell her
    What to do now"

    it suggests to me that she comitted suicide.
    Possibly a child?

    General CommentI think suicide may be correct but that of an older person, where 57 winters took their toll.

    My InterpretationSomebody committing suicide due to illness, possibly mental. "No one" being the doctors.
