Angie

Angie, from where I stand

The water breaks on the spit of sand

How does it survive

Angie, for all I know

The sand is tired and ready to go

It's less than alive

But you so ready to leave

The first trembling leaf to break loose in the Fall

Angie, so ready to fly

Is there time to ask why

Is there no time at all

Or, is there nothing hidden I can blame

Angie

If Angie's your name

Angie, from where I stand

Your smile is so discreetly planned

I'm not sure it's there

Angie, for all I know

You'll notice me

You’ll turn and go

You won't even care

That you're so ready to leave

The first trembling leaf to break loose in the Fall

Angie, so ready to fly

Is there time to ask why

Is there no time at all

Or, is there nothing hidden I can blame

Angie

If Angie's your name

Angie, I was getting along

Nothing quite right but nothing too wrong

I didn't know you existed

I ran my life like a safe machine

Lost myself in a safe routine

But now it's all twisted

With my hand on the knife

For the rest of my life

Angie, from where I stand

You rise and wave an un-gloved hand

You smile in the sun

Angie, you smile for him

He calls to you

The light is dim

You break into a run

And you're gone, so ready to leave

The first trembling leaf to break loose in the Fall

Angie, so ready to fly

Is there time to ask why

Is there no time at all

Or, is there nothing hidden I can blame

Angie

If Angie's your name
