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
