Sam Fender Angel In Lothian
[Verse 1]
When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
I was only a child but I trust my eyes
She [?] cabinet before me
Like I didn't see that
Said “Kid, don't [?]”
With a space station rattling above my head
I shot the day
I shot the day
Back then the other door was always open
I come and go, back and forth, everytime I need
I'm needing you more now than ever
As I'm feeling weak
And I'm clawing that door every bad night
But somehow it's barred from the other side
I claw till my skin comes apart
Until I feel something
[Verse 2]
Now I remembеr that pain in my mother
Being helpless and reckless and far too young
My brother was spiralling down
He said “Kid, it's not me, it's this town”
[?]
I no longer have solitude behind that door
And I know drugs that can hold it
You gotta hold it yourself
There was an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
She could've fixed all the problems that I cannot fix
But one day I might have kids myself
And hope that I don't f..ck them up myself, hey
