“Wings of an angel
Replace my beautiful scars
Well hidden in the dark
Time seems to stand still
The world is falling apart
So heavy on my heart.”

“Dark Angel, with thine aching lust
To rid the world of penitence:
Malicious Angel, who still dost
My soul such subtile violence!”

“As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill
So my body leaves no scar
On you and never will”

“Every time I try
To fly, I fall.
Without my wings,
I feel so small.”

“Heart of my heart, the world is young;
Love lies hidden in every rose!”

“When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm.
And I want so bad to move it, 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb;
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up.
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it.
Yeah I live for little moments like that.”

“Into a land
Storm-wrought, a place of quakes, all thunder-scarred,
Helpless, degraded, desolate,
Peace, the White Angel, comes.
Her eyes are as a mother's. Her good hands
Are comforting, and helping; and her voice
Falls on the heart, as, after Winter, Spring
Falls on the World, and there is no more pain.”

“I just wanna lay my head on your chest,
so I'm as close as it gets to your heart
We can fall apart, start over again”

“I hope to die in my sleep, when the time comes, and I hope it will be in the beautiful big brass bed in my New Orleans apartment, the bed which is associated with so much love.”

“A beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain.”
