Hymn For The Weekend – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
oh angel sent from up above you know you make my world light up
when I was down, when I was hurt you came to lift me up
life is a drink and love’s a drug oh now I think I must be miles up
when I was a river dried up you came to rain a flood
you said ‘drink from me, drink from me’ when I was so thirsty
poured on a symphony now I just can’t get enough
put your wings on me, on me when I was so heavy
poured on a symphony when I’m low low low low
I oh I oh I got me feeling drunk and high
so high so high oh I oh I oh I
now I’m feeling drunk and high so high so high
oh angel sent from up above I feel you coursing through my blood
life is a drink and your love’s about to make the stars come out
put your wings on me, on me when I was so heavy
poured on a symphony when I’m low low low low
I oh I oh I you got me feeling drunk and high
so high so high oh I oh I oh I
now I’m feeling drunk and high so high so high
I oh I oh I la la la la la la la
so high so high
oh I oh I oh I now I’m feeling drunk and high
so high so high that I shoot across the sky
that I shoot across the that I shoot across the sky
watch me shoot across the…..
