The angel will die
Closed eye
This time, we’ll fade out tonight
We don’t wanna go outside, tonight
And in a pipe, she flies to the motherland
It’s too cold outside
For angels to fly

Angel will die
Closed eye
This time, we’ll fade out tonight
We don’t wanna go outside, tonight
And in a pipe, she flies to the motherland
It’s too cold outside
For angels to fly

And they say
They scream
They see
Slowly sinking, wasting
And they say
They scream
They see
Slowly sinking, wasting

An angel will die
Closed eye
This time, we’ll fade out tonight
We don’t wanna go outside, tonight
And in a pipe, she flies to the motherland
It’s too cold outside
For angels to fly
For angels to fly
To fly
To fly
Or angels to die

Ed Sheeran is a singer/songwriter who was born in Halifax, England but was raised in Suffolk, England. He’s known for his energetic live shows, which involve him using a loop pedal and sometimes throwing some raps in for good measure.

Ed’s success story began with him playing music in older people’s homes. He first was picked up by a record producer when busking in the USA. He performed nearly a thousand gigs and street performances before getting the recognition he deserved. Unsigned projects such as Loose Change and Songs I Wrote with Amy relied on the production of long-term collaborator Jake Gosling and signaled the start of their hugely successful musical relationship. Soon he’d made countless industry friends.

Teaming up with some of the biggest names in UK grime – Wiley, Ghetts, Jme and more – he released the No. 5 Collaborations Project in January 2011, and it reached number 46 on the UK Singles Chart. One of the songs, “Little Lady” (feat. Mikill Pane), was a fan favourite, so Ed made a more radio-friendly solo version entitled “The A Team” and the rest is history. The song now has over a million sales in the UK and two million in the US.
