Slow giving, slow coming Slow giving, slow coming Joy giving, joy coming Love giving, love coming
Angel, I’ve seen you in the rocket speed I've seen you in the ground that feeds My angel, with me you've crawled through the trenches Forever scaling my defences
I need you now in my rebel mind Please lock the door and hang a sign My heart is open wide but the bleeding's hard to stop Explain to me what is and what is not What is, what is, what is
Slow giving, slow coming, you’re my world apart Slow giving, slow coming, what a fall, what a fall Joy giving, joy coming Love giving, love coming
Angel, until the beast in me forever burns It's hard to know which way to turn On the guard rail of your twenty five years I feel the piercing ember of every tear
On a desert plain, on my knees Broken and ragged, saying please, baby, please, baby, please Oh angel, I’ve lost so many times Please, please show me a sign
On a pretty lip, on a broken grip Don't let me bring the roof down, let me build my spirit sound I'm standing right back where I started Please let me stay open hearted
Make me see it a whole new way Make me see the new day, the new day, the new day Make me be, make me be Make me be a whole new way
Meet me in San Juan, baby, I’ll be true Whisper sweet everything to you Yellow cactus rose, cotton blown by wind Beaten brown hands, perfect skin, perfect skin, perfect skin
In San Juan, I don't want to know All the reasons why you got to go In San Juan, meet me in San Juan
Where nobody has and everybody gives There's no sad wind where death lives I see your love, I see your love
Baby, I’ll be true Yes, I’ll be true For your love, for your love, for your love, love
