[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
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 save her soul
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime

[Chorus]
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

[Verse 2]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
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 save her soul
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime

[Chorus]
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

[Bridge]
Close your eyes
Go to sleep
Forever in my heart
I’ll keep you save
Forever
I’ll keep you save

[Outro]
Angel
My angel
Angel
My angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel
Angel
My angel

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Annie Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.

Over the decade, the duo moved away from their dark new wave sound and S&M imagery, evolving into a more mainstream synthpop band. In that time, they scored twenty-one UK top 40’s (ten of which were also US top 40 hits). In 1990, Eurythmics quietly disbanded and Lennox took a break from music to have her first child.
