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
