Angel

The city used to sing your name
 The effort that we gave meant everything
 I never saw a reason to push you away
 So I asked you to stay
 I watched the sun rise in the desert heat
 I watched you walk away as I struggled to breath
 I reached for your hand as I fell to my knees
 Hope sank in the sand
 Didn't want to let you go
 But I need to let you know
 You held me through the rain and snow
 My angel
 Wherever you carry me
 A Tommy boat in a heavy breeze
 Guided me through the angry seas
 My angel
 The city still screams your name
 The effort that we gave didn't mean a thing
 I never saw a reason to push you away
 But couldn't ask you to stay
 I felt the water rising, consuming us both
 You swam while I struggled to float
 I reached for your hand as I slip alone
 But I can see it in your eyes, you needed to go
 And I understand it, really I do
 I had a plan with no follow-through
 That was demanding a lot of you
 Hope swirl in the sand
 Didn't want to let you go
 But I need to let you know
 You held me through the rain and snow
 My angel
 Wherever you carry me
 A Tommy boat in a heavy breeze
 Guided me through the angry seas
 My angel
