My heart goes out to the street angels Working their way back home My heart goes out to the street angels
I saved my change for a street angel Working his way back home I had this exchange with the street angel Nobody talks to me much
I said nobody talks to me much
Nobody
So he says
I make my verse for the universe
I write my rhymes for the universities
And I give it away for the hoot of it I tell my tale for the toot of it I wear my suit for the suit of it The tree is bare but the root of it Goes deeper than logical reasoning It's god goes fishing
And we are the fishes
He baits his lines
With prayers and wishes
They sparkle in the shallows
And catch the falling light
We hide our hearts like holy hostages While hungry for the love and so we bite
Working his way back home
He's working his way back home Took him away in the ambulance
Made away with the ambulance
He waved goodbye from the ambulance
My heart goes out to the street angel
