Like the Angel

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 Everything you touch turns into gold Like the angel you are, your 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 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, your 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 every day will lead into tomorrow 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, your 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
