Slow giving, slow coming

Slow giving, slow coming

Joy giving, joy coming

Love giving, love coming


Angel, I've seen you in the rocket speed

I've seen you in the ground that feeds

My angel, with me you've crawled through the trenches

Forever scaling my defenses

I need you now in my rebel mind

Please lock the door and hang a sign

My heart is open wide but the bleeding's hard to stop

Explain to me what is and what is not, what is, what is, what is


Slow giving, slow coming

Slow giving, slow coming

Joy giving, joy coming

Love giving, love coming


Angel, until the beast in me forever burns

It's hard to know which way to turn

On the guard rail of your 25 years

I feel the piercing ember of every tear

On a desert plane, on my knees, broken and ragged saying please baby please baby please

Oh angel I've lost so many times

Please, please show me a sign

On a pretty lip

On a broken grip, don't let me bring the roof down

Let me build my spirit sound

I'm standing right back where I started, please let me stay open hearted

Oh angel, my sweet angel, angel
