In the Wake of Angels (© 2011 Mike Kimlicko)

Here alone without a home I wait in the wake of angels.
Try to see what‟s left of me, I„m lost in the arms of strangers
I can‟t believe that all I knew is gone and I am left with nothing
First a trickle then a flood, I‟m drowning in the wake of angels.

Today you‟re here, tomorrow you‟ll be gone again
And I can see the writing on the wall
When help becomes a fashion from a shiny world
But then it‟s gone…

Well, I‟d been here long before you knew, you knew that I‟d been
crying
And I thank you for the love you send, because without it I‟d be
next to nothing
But now I wonder how long will you stay to help pick up my pieces
First a flood and then it stops, I‟m falling through the arms of
angels

Today you‟re here, tomorrow you‟ll be gone again
And I can see the writing on the wall
When help becomes a fashion from a shiny world
But then it‟s gone…

I‟m not ungrateful, but “so long,”
Because we both know we‟re moving on
I‟ve seen it all before…
But for now I rise, now I rise
In the wake of angels
In the wake of angels

Here‟s the rub, we‟ve got to find a way, a way out of the forest
For there is but a sea of trees, I‟m lost in among the branches
So if you want to help me, help me help myself, because I need to
get started
No more swimming against the tide, I‟ll be standing in the wake of
angels

Today you‟re here, tomorrow you‟ll be gone again
And I can see the writing on the wall
When help becomes a fashion from a shiny world
But then it‟s gone…

In the wake of angels
In the wake of angels
In the wake of angels
In the wake of angels
