Lyrics
Like The Angels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
And 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
And 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
