[Verse 1: Dane Ferguson] The city used to sing your name The effort that we gave meant everything I never saw a reason to push you away So I asked you to stay I watched the sun rise in the desert heat I watched you walk away as I struggled to breath I reached for your hand as I fell to my knees Hope sank in the sand [Chorus: Dane Ferguson] Didn't want to let you go But I need to let you know You held me through the rain and snow My angel Wherever you carry me A Tommy boat in a heavy breeze Guided me through the angry seas My angel [Verse 2: Dane Ferguson] The city still screams your name The effort that we gave didn't mean a thing I never saw a reason to push you away But couldn't ask you to stay I felt the water rising, consuming us both You swam while I struggled to float I reached for your hand as I slip alone But I can see it in your eyes, you needed to go And I understand it, really I do I had a plan with no follow-through That was demanding a lot of you Hope swirl in the sand... [Chorus]
