| [03:24.49] |
He searched for those wings that he knew |
| [03:26.70] |
that this angel should have at her back. |
| [03:28.36] |
And although he can't find them |
| [03:31.42] |
he really don't mind |
| [03:31.99] |
because he knows they'll grow back. |
| [03:32.48] |
And he reaches for that halo that he knows |
| [03:32.93] |
that she had when she first caught his eye. |
| [03:33.36] |
Although his hand came back empty |
| [03:33.81] |
he's really not worried |
| [03:34.33] |
because he knows it still shines. |
| [03:34.63] |
|
| [03:34.87] |
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings |
| [03:35.11] |
or keep this tarnished halo shining |
| [03:35.31] |
but I'll never betray your trust |
| [03:35.53] |
angel mine. |
| [03:35.73] |
|
| [03:35.97] |
I'll search all the time on the ground |
| [03:36.19] |
for our shadows cast side by side. |
| [03:36.43] |
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy |
| [03:36.63] |
that you exist and are mine. |
| [03:36.83] |
And I know that your skin is warm and as real |
| [03:37.01] |
as that smile in your eyes. |
| [03:37.21] |
But I have to keep touching and smelling |
| [03:40.64] |
and tasting for fear it's all lies. |
| [03:41.15] |
|
| [03:41.59] |
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings |
| [03:41.86] |
or keep this tarnished halo shining |
| [03:42.07] |
but I'll never betray your trust |
| [03:42.28] |
angel mine. |
| [03:42.47] |
|
| [03:42.68] |
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps |
| [03:42.91] |
with your voice in my head. |
| [03:43.16] |
And I could tell by your breathing |
| [03:43.38] |
that you were still sleeping |
| [03:43.61] |
I repeated those words that you had said. |
| [03:43.82] |
|
| [03:44.09] |
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings |
| [03:44.32] |
or keep this tarnished halo shining |
| [03:44.55] |
but I'll never betray your trust |
| [03:44.78] |
angel mine. |
