Angels On The Banks

(album: Watch Them Fall - 2004)

Stop by to say I love you
Every time he passes through
I was lost and I had missed you
They're the words I listen to

And even if I stop
I know the conversation will go on
And every word I haven't said I take for granted

I've packed my bag a hundred times
Told my mom I'm coming home
Bought a ticket down the river
The only current that I know

But a day becomes a year
And all the kisses cover the fears
And the tears become the dawn of another day

And the angels on the banks
Come to row me down the river
These strangers with their angel wings

All these strangers on the banks
Come to row me down the river
With their angel wings
Their angel wings

I had a dream that I was pretty
That I could fool your wild eyes
Start believing that I'm witty
That I'd never compromise

The dreams we fool
The Mozart room
The old tattoo I got from you
I try to wash it off my body one last time

Before the angels on the banks
Come to row me down the river
These strangers with their angel wings

All the strangers on the banks
Have come to row me down the river
With their angel wings
Their angel wings

Oh, I've never been rescued before
Oh, I've never seen the end of a war
I've never caught the grace of a lullaby
Not the way that all the angels sing tonight

All the angels on the banks
Have come to row me down the river
These strangers with their angel wings
All these strangers on the banks
Have come to row me down the river
With their angel wings
Their angel wings
