Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love came to my door
With a sleeping roll
And a madman's soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman
To court and spark
[Verse 2]
He was playing on the sidewalk
For passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So he buried the coins he made
In People's Park
And went looking for a woman
To court and spark
[Bridge]
It seemed like he read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him and still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
I worry sometimes
[Verse 3]
"All the guilty people," he said
They've all seen the stain
On their daily bread
On their Christian names
I cleared myself
I sacrificed my blues
And you could complete me
I'd complete you
[Verse 4]
His eyes were the color of the sand
And the sea
And the more he talked to me the-
The more he reached me
But I couldn't let go of L.A.
City of the fallen angels
