Like the Angel

They turn the lights down low

In shadows hiding from the world

Only coming out when it gets cold

The seas part when they hit the floor

The voices carry on and out the door

Everything you touch turns into gold

Like the angel you are

You laugh creating

A lightness in my chest

Your eyes, they penetrate me

(Your answer's always maybe)

That's when I got up and left

A beating heart, a microphone

A ticking clock in an empty home

Still tells of these times so long ago

And even though I've come so far

I know I've got so far to go

And any day now I'll explode

Like the angel you are

You laugh creating

A lightness in my chest

Your eyes, they penetrate me

(Your answer's always maybe)

That's when I got up and left

And each and everyday

Will lead into tomorrow

Tomorrow brings one less day without you

But don't wait up, just leave the light on

'Cause all the roads that I might take

Will all one day lead back to you

And like the angel you are

You laugh creating

A lightness in my chest

Your eyes, they penetrate me

(Never cease to amaze me)

That's when I got up and left
