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
And 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 and a microphone
A ticking clock in an empty home
Still tells of these times so long ago.

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.
