Angelmine

He searched for those wings that he knew

That his angel should have at her back.

And, although he can't find them,

He really doesn't mind

Because he knows they'll grow back.

And as 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.

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.

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,

Angelmine.
