Angel Mine

He searched for those wings that he knew

that this angel should have at her back

And although he can't find them

he really don't mind

because he knows they'll grow back

And he reached for that halo that he knows

that she had when she first caught his eye

Although his hand came back empty

he's really not worried

'cause he knows it still shines



I can't promise that I'll grow those wings

or keep this tarnished halo shined

but I'll never betray your trust

angel mine



I search all the time on the ground

for our shadows cast side by side

Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy

that you exist and are mine

And I know that your skin is as warm and as real

as that smile in your eyes

But I have to keep touching and smelling

and tasting for fear it's all lies



I can't promise that I'll grow those wings

or keep this tarnished halo shined

but I'll never betray your trust

angel mine



Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps

with your voice in my head

And I could tell by your breathing

that you were still sleeping

I repeated those words that you had said



I can't promise that I'll grow those wings

or keep this tarnished halo shined

but I'll never betray your trust

angel mine
