Slow Giving

> Slow giving, slow coming Slow giving, slow coming Joy giving, joy coming Love giving, love coming Angel, I've seen you in the rocket speed I've seen you in the ground that feeds My angel, with me you've crawled through the trenches Forever scaling my defenses I need you now in my rebel mind Please lock the door and hang a sign My heart is open wide but the bleeding's hard to stop Explain to me what is and what is not, what is, what is, what is Slow giving, slow coming Slow giving, slow coming Joy giving, joy coming Love giving, love coming Angel, until the beast in me forever burns It's hard to know which way to turn On the guard rail of your 25 years I feel the piercing ember of every tear On a desert plane, on my knees, broken and ragged saying please baby please baby please Oh angel I've lost so many times Please, please show me a sign On a pretty lip On a broken grip, don't let me bring the roof down Let me build my spirit sound I'm standing right back where I started, please let me stay open hearted Oh angel, my sweet angel, angel
