lyrics

Worlds pass me by
I can’t quite see blue skies
There’s a flag flying
somewhere down the road
Trapped in the car is a bee
He’s so far from his people
Will he ever get back home?

Mama always told me
there’s an angel on my shoulder
but I’ve never seen a sign
that it exists
In her mind I think she
hoped she could protect me
at least somehow indirectly
But if she’s trying
then she’s still not found a way

Buried at the beach
with my limbs out of reach
and the tide soon leans in
to say hello

Coke in my hand
spills all over the sand
but it’s all just a part
of letting go

Mama always told me
there’s an angel on my shoulder
but I’ve never seen a sign
that it exists
In her mind I think she
hoped she could protect me
at least somehow indirectly
But if she’s trying
then she’s still not found a way
...at least not today

Shuffling her papers
the clerk takes my name
and I wonder how long
I’ll have to wait
I’m last in line
in a room full of nine
but what does it matter anyway?

(Chorus)
