I guess I'll never know my father,
My memory don't go back that far
They just put me on a train bound for somewhere
And all these years later a lump comes to my heart
I met her once at Waterloo Station
Said I reminded her of him
I spoke to my sister then and sang to the nation
Well I guess I just lost track of the years
Even angels have bad days
And if you're alone you never really are
Just know had circumstances been different
I would be with you, love mama
I found her number in the library
I must have dialed it a thousand times
But I still get the same answer
The old lady who lived here, she disappeared
Maybe she died
Even angels have bad days
And if you're alone you never really are
Just know had circumstances been different
I would be with you, love mama
She said she had a brother in Virginia Waters
He played the fiddle on the side
She said maybe that's where you get your music (uh huh)
But that's also where the trail just died
Even angels have bad days
And if you're alone you never really are
Just know had circumstances been different
I would be with you, love mama
So if you hear this Jean Russel, or Jimmy Palace?
Just know I'm out here doing fine
And maybe if the moment finds you
You could always come my way or drop me a line
Even angels have bad days
And if you're alone you never really are
Just know had circumstances been different
I would be with you, love mama
