Cowboy Junkies Angel Mine
He searched for those wings that he knew that this angel should have at her back. And although he can’t find them he really don’t mind because he knows they’ll grow back. And he reaches 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 because he knows it still shines. I can’t promise that I’ll grow those wings or keep this tarnished halo shining but I’ll never betray your trust angel mine. I’ll 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 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 shining but I’ll never betray your trust angel mine. 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 shining but I’ll never betray your trust angel mine.
