11) Angel (1:12) [Math: guitar, vocals; Jana: other vocals]
lyrics
Awkward step, I forget this dance I’ll sway/I let thee letter let go once the palm was waved
No stamp dear whomever love no one at all/Unhappy spring singing oh happy fall
Is it my own hand that wrote this thing/I don’t recognize that thumb, do I wear that ring?
You said those words I heard you talk in yr sleep/No secrets to keep no sunlite will reach
Photographic mind can’t remember here/I live where we’re not allowed thoughts clear
The window breaks for a third time this hour/There’s no angel now in the lost ‘n’ found
