Description
A mellow song. Acoustic guitars, piano, bass, and vocals. I wrote this song after reading a book called The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, which decried Angels (as the force of organization and structure) as being in a constant state of equilibrium with devils (chaos and disorder).

Lyrics
A man is throwing stones along the surface of the sea,
Watches them rise up and plunge down into the deep
The voice is unexpected as he's heard it all along.
It's single lingering note ends in the sadness of a song
Angela
She says she'll give him something he can live for,
A concrete song to occupy the emptyness forevermore
For the sadness in his eyes threatens the order in all things
Perhaps her love and reason will help him grow wings
Angela, Angelita
She wants his eyes to be the bold marks of a caretakers creed
And she looks upon her love as on a sacred seed.
The nervousness will pass, she says, along the waters by the shore
Let my love wash over you until you feel you are no more
Angela, Angelita
His smile now resembles a man offering prayer
To an altar by the seaside with a conscience laid bare
Angela, Angelita
Watches them rise up and plunge down into the deep
The voice is unexpected as he's heard it all along.
It's single lingering note ends in the sadness of a song
Angela
She says she'll give him something he can live for,
A concrete song to occupy the emptyness forevermore
For the sadness in his eyes threatens the order in all things
Perhaps her love and reason will help him grow wings
Angela, Angelita
She wants his eyes to be the bold marks of a caretakers creed
And she looks upon her love as on a sacred seed.
The nervousness will pass, she says, along the waters by the shore
Let my love wash over you until you feel you are no more
Angela, Angelita
His smile now resembles a man offering prayer
To an altar by the seaside with a conscience laid bare
Angela, Angelita

This reminds me a bit of Jose Gonzales...very nice acoustic sounds.
Lyrically evocative and musically intimate.
Thanks for sharing it
