You Have Been Loved/Street Angel
My loyalty/respect/admiration/gentility.
For a while it meant something.
Then it didn't.
The lights went out.
I don't understand.
I was myself.
Guess you showed me that I'm not worth much.
To me, you were a sign that everything was going to be ok.
That my patience was going to pay off.
That God was listening to my prayers.
And you always will be that.
Even if you don't want to ever hear from me again.
Even if you've forgotten me.
I'll never harbor any negativity toward you.
Someone I genuinely care for.
Someone who looked past my physical appearance and my lack of charm.
Someone who broke down the walls for that period of time.
Someone so full of life...
who I will never, with each passing day of my life, forget.
Trust me, I've been forgotten about before by those I so care for.
Strange.
As many times as its happened, I can never get used to that feeling.
That empty, worthless feeling
of abandonment.
I've been walking under rainbows too long to tell
You keep walking down mean streets
my street angel
I try to bring you in out of the cold
But street angels live on the street
And they always will
Street angels aren't like anyone you know
They do what they want and they go where they go
They may tell you
that you hold the world in your hands
But they always give it back
They always give it back
No amount of crying changes your mind
No amount of praying brings you inside
I know that you love me
and that you always will
You just stand outside and call to me
My sweet street angel
A Charles Dickens character,
with your top hat and your scarf
When you pull me through the rainbow
I thought you'd stop
But you didn't you turned around
You went back to the children and your music
And the people that you love
I can't help but wonder if
Every one in a while you remember the boy
When you were a homeless angel
that drove you wild
Strange and elusive
No amount of crying changes your mind
No amount of praying brings you inside
I know that you love me and that you always will
You just stand outside and call to me
My sweet street angel
So I ended it all for the both of us
I fell down the stairs a broken rag doll
But you never knew you just thought I went away
With nothing more to hope for
But you don't hear voices anymore
No my sweet street angel
