William the Angel sits on the yellow line
William the Angel stuck in the middle of the road
Staring out at his broken wing
He sheds a couple of tears
Says "I haven't seen my friends St. Paul and St. Peter in 15 years"
William the Angel sits on the yellow line
Says "God are you crazy, these humans seem a waste of my time"
Well I've flown round the world, seen many things
The victories and struggles they bear
And I tell them of your love
How you watch
How you listen
They no longer seem to care
This is my prayer
Before you return me to heaven
Let my wing be repaired
Send me to Tokyo, Beirut or London
Doesn't matter to me
I did as I was told
Still, I'd like to save one soul
William the Angel stands on the yellow line
There's now a state trooper wondering
What's on his mind
Well I've seen both death and destruction sir
The cruelty of nature and of man
But when God points left
Man wanders right
Follows his own plan
William the Angel walks the straight yellow line
William the Angel say "the answers can be simple sometimes"
Why consider the smile in a baby's eye
When it's wrapped in its mother's arms
And consider the sound and the look of the sky after a violent storm
You've been forwarned
Before he returns me to heaven
Sir I'ld like to move on
Send me to New York, Toronto or Berlin
Or even the back of your car
Peace and joy are cliches I know
Still, I'd like to save one soul
Just one soul
William the Angel sits on the side of the road
The trooper says "Be careful, haven't you some place to go?"
William says "No, I'll just sit here and wait"
While pointing to the remains of his wing
He is offered a ride
But says "Thank you, no thank you. I'm an angel to the king"
And this is what I sing
Before he returns me to heaven
May he fix my wing
Send me to Mexico City or Capetown
It doesn't matter at all
There's always hope I was told
Still I'd like to save one soul
Just one soul
I would like to save
Just one soul

William the Angel sits on the yellow line
William the Angel stuck in the middle of the road
Staring out at his broken wing
