    Angel Sarah Mclachlan
    In the arms of an angel
    Fly away from here
    From this dark cold hotel room
    And the endlessness that you fear
    You are pulled from the wreckage
    Of your silent reverie
    You�re in the arms of the angel
    May you find some comfort there
    You�re in the arms of the angel
    May you find some comfort here
