Angel

The city used to sing your name

The effort that we gave meant everything

I never saw a reason to push you away

So I asked you to stay

I watched the sun rise in the desert heat

I watched you walk away as I struggled to breath

I reached for your hand as I fell to my knees

Hope sank in the sand

Didn't want to let you go

But I need to let you know

You held me through the rain and snow

My angel

Wherever you carry me

A Tommy boat in a heavy breeze

Guided me through the angry seas

My angel

The city still screams your name

The effort that we gave didn't mean a thing

I never saw a reason to push you away

But couldn't ask you to stay

I felt the water rising, consuming us both

You swam while I struggled to float

I reached for your hand as I slip alone

But I can see it in your eyes, you needed to go

And I understand it, really I do

I had a plan with no follow-through

That was demanding a lot of you

Hope swirl in the sand...

Didn't want to let you go

But I need to let you know

You held me through the rain and snow

My angel

Wherever you carry me

A Tommy boat in a heavy breeze

Guided me through the angry seas

My angel
