Angels of the Silences (acoustic) - Counting Crows

Album: Across A Wire: Live In New York City

Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand
Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?
I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now
Whered you come from? where am I going?
Whyd you leave me till Im only good for...
Waiting for you
All my sins...
I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

Every night these silhouettes appear above my head
Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper
Every time I fall asleep, every time I dream
did you come? would you lie?
Whyd you leave us till were only good for...
Waiting for you
All my sins...
I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

I dream of michelangelo when Im lying in my bed
Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book
Suck my blood break my nerve offer me their arms
Well, I will not be an enemy of anything
Ill only stand here

Waiting for you
All my sins...
I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

Im gone

makes me cry everytime I hear it. absolutely beautiful.

i feel like that is true for a lot of their songs... the acoustic stuff sounds so much better.. its also easier to hear and comprehend the lyrics in the acoustic versions, which is a plus

@Kimifreak18 Agree Kim...saw them with my kids with LiVe...they opened with this after we were exhausted after LiVe....needless to say they rocked Angels out and we were back on our feet again!

counting crows are simply amazing. everything i feel, adam can put into words and sing. forever my favorite band.<3 and by the way, they are the most amazing band ive seen live. the band is so on key with adam. he usually sings his songs in different version in his live shows, and his band is always perfect with his twists on the music. they are true artists, performers, and role models. <3

No matter how much I love this version, I think I'll stick with the original. For me this songs needs that little rock 'n roll edge that this version misses.

@jjjj6767 Two different experiences. While I think they are a fantastic live show, especially for their longtime fans, I agree that Angels is a rock and roll tune and should stay that way.

Counting crows always sucked live.....Duritz doesnt seem to know how to let a good thing just be
