Street Angel |
| My heart goes out to the street angels |
| Working their way back home |
| My heart goes out to the street angels |
| I saved my change for a street angel |
| Working his way back home |
| I had this exchange with the street angel: |
| «Nobody talks to me much |
| I said, nobody talks to me much |
| Nobody.» |
| So he says |
| «I make my verse for the universe |
| I write my rhymes for the universities |
| And I give it away for the hoot of it |
| I tell my tale for the toot of it |
| I wear my suit for the suit of it |
| The tree is bare, but the root of it |
| Goes deeper than logical reasoning |
| It’s God goes fishing |
| And we are the fishes |
| He baits his lines |
| With prayers and wishes |
| They sparkle in the shallows |
| And catch the falling light |
| We hide our hearts like holy hostages |
| While hungry for the love, and so we bite." |
| Working his way back home |
| He’s working his way back home |
| Took him away in the ambulance |
| Made away with the ambulance |
| He waved goodbye from the ambulance |
| My heart goes out to the street angel |
