Angel On The Run
Like wind over the walls that fools will build just to divide
They say your love’s an ocean, just as deep as it is wide
some sailors might get lost but you can blame it on their pride
just hoist the sails, the ocean has it’s ways
some say it’s like a bandit with a blindfold and a gun
while others say it’s more like drops of warmth down from the sun
and like an angel on the run
you fall in love with everyone
and please, please, please
save me some
Now everybody’s heard ‘bout all the troubles of the world
we cling to things, and need just causes pain
and selfish men will stone any love that can’t be owned
and some folks keep on giving just the same.
You scream across the desert with the black road hot beneath
the wind picks up your hair and then a smile shows off your teeth
and there’s no one that you need by your side just to feel complete
no gallant goof to swoop and save the day.
and when your life of freedom and of giving’s finally done
you’ll look back and reflect on all the hearts that you have won
and like an angel on the run
you fall in love with everyone
but please, please, please
save me some.
