LYRICS
Elevator kiss under the breakdown moon
I didn’t see it coming but a minute too soon
As the darkness flower began to rise
I can still remember the look in your eyes, your eyes
The sky, the bird, the bride
The cloud, the need, the planted stars
Surprise beyond the field of seed
And all beyond our wildest dreams
The heaven of heavens
The heaven, the heaven in your eyes
Cry out loud
Little angel
As hard as I try I can’t give up the ghost
I never give enough, you always give the most
Always going blind in the benevolent sun
But I keep looking for the only one
The one, the only one
The sky, the bird, the bride
The cloud, the need, the planted stars
Surprise beyond the field of seed
And all beyond our wildest dreams
The heaven of heavens
The heaven, the heaven in your eyes
Cry out loud
Little angel
Slow blind twilight ferries over the lakes
Heart carry stumble and I crumble to flakes, to flakes
Shove at lover’s leap as the stars fall cold
If we hold on tight we might never grow old
The sky, the bird, the bride
The cloud, the need, the planted stars
Surprise beyond the field of seed
And all beyond our wildest dreams
The heaven of heavens
The heaven, the heaven in your eyes
Cry out loud
Little angel
