Intro: () () () (two times, hold on 2nd time)
meet me in the morning
at the bus stop
we'll ride into the town
down to the square
to see the angel
see the angel in the fountain
-
meet me in the morning
() () (hold)
(repeat as above)
meet me after daybreak
tie your hair back
we'll drift into the crawd
get last among the loud
and they'll be singing
they'll be singing in our daydream
when we're tired we'll leave them
all behind and walk away
()
I love you
()
I love you
I love you a lot
meet me in the courtyard
where the saints pray
musing in our stare
still painfully aware
that there are others
shoulds and woulds with names and faces
close your eyes and open up your mind
and hear me say
chorus
()
see the angel
()
she's dancing in the water
()
hear the angel
() (hold)
she's laughing in the water
(play each chord once and let ring)
something in the way that you
said you really felt that we could be
good friends forever
something in the way that you
told me you really felt that we could be
together for a long time.
(repeat chorus to end)
