she was an angel
but she wasn’t mine
she was an angel
but that didn’t stop me
from trying to make her
she was an angel
a thing of beauty
almost too immaculate
for my eyes to take
she was an angel
indeed she was but not interested
in being pinned-down
w/ silly wings and a thorny halo
however my heart just had to
dress her in them anyway
she was an angel
and I tried to make her mine
but I tried too hard
and now she’s gone
and I’m again a lonely soul
