Strange as angels

"Show me how you do that trick,
the one that makes me scream" he said,
"the one that makes me laugh" he said
and threw his arms around my neck.

Show me how you do it
and I promise you...
I promise that
I'll run away with you.

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
and dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make him glow.

“Why are you so far away?” he said,
“Why won't you ever know that
I'm in love with you...
that I'm in love with you.”

You, soft and only.
You, lost and lonely.
You, strange as angels.
Dancing in the deepest oceans,
twisting in the water,
you're just like a dream.

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes.

And found myself alone, alone...
alone above a raging sea
that stole the only boy I loved
and drowned him deep inside of me.

You, soft and only.
You, lost and lonely.
You, just like heaven.
