Angel Gets Caught In The Beauty Trap

I step out of the shadows

And into the bright day,

I cannot breathe

For the smoke and the city smells.

My head comes alive

With the humming of engines,

I cannot scream

For the dust in my throat.

I stare at the lovers

As they stand in the doorway,

I cannot dream

For the dirt on my hands.

I came to this place with

A lifetime of memories;

Falling apart

Like the shoes on my feet.

Even now I see you fall

Even now I see you fall

Even now I see you fall

Your arms stretching out.

I remember the hot sand.

I remember the blue sky.

We sat side by side

And traded our names.

I remember the sweet air.

I remember the time when

I fell in love

Only to cry in my sleep.

Even now I see you fall

Even now I see you fall

Even now I see you fall

Your arms stretching out.

Even now I sometimes call

Even now I sometimes call

Even now I sometimes call

Your name in the night

In my dream

I feel you breathing

In my dream

I feel you breathe

In my dream

I feel you breathing

In my dream

I feel you breathe
