Lyrics
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
'Cause he knows they'll grow back
And he reached 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
'Cause he knows it still shines
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
I 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 as 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 shined
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 the words you had said
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
