Текст Cockney Rebel – When The Halo Slips

You ask me for protection
I do everything I can
I try to be your lover and your friend
In everything you ask

That’s when the halo slips again
And I am humbled, I am meek
When the halo slips again
Then I am humbled at your feet

I offer all my loving
I share every move I plan
I answer every message that you send
I found you in the night
I led you out into the light
But every now and then this tree will bend

That’s when the halo slips again
And I am humbled, I am meek
When the halo slips again
Then I am humbled at your feet

You can carry me half-way to Heaven
Will you be (stay) with me right to the end?
I can lighten the load (burden) that you carry
But you know that this tree’s gonna bend

We celebrate, we suffer
We bite every giving hand
To try to understand is to pretend
When two of us are weak
It’s a game of hide and seek
But every now and then this tree will bend

That’s when the halo slips again
And I am humbled, I am meek
When the halo slips again
Then I am humbled at your feet
