Angel - Foreign Legion

A beautiful day it was Vienna in the springtime

Late morning writing songs in the sunshine

Sitting on the bench with the pad and the pen

Spilling out my thoughts it was Saturday in the park

Kids playing I was contemplating destiny

I looked up there was an Angel sitting next to me

21 or 22 years old and flawless

Body of a goddess underneath but her dress was modest

Eyes green sort of blue in the sun rays

Started talking and I told her that I’m from the bay

Pulled out a J from the pocket out of my shirt

Asked for a light and she dug into her purse

Said she lived near and came here cause it’s peaceful

To clear out her mind plus she liked watching the people

She had a man but he lived and studied overseas

I could tell she loved him but her eyes said she was lonely

We caught a cloud together

Conversation and we smiled together

One moment on this old bench

Spoke like old friends

Told some jokes and

Started walking as the clouds started moving in

Spring showers only last about a half an hour

So Vienna from the park to the city center

Started raining so we ducked into a cafe

Sat in the window a cappuccino and a latte

Walked around the town together

Checking out scenery

Philosophized talked about life

And what it means to be heard

My history is fall in love to easily

Yeah I believe in God but first I believe in me

Fuck a Grammy what I really want is a family

A lot of women love me but none can understand me

I don’t understand myself I’m just a lonely man

Trying to fake a smile until it’s real doing the best I can

We kept strolling never holding hand physically

But every time we caught each others glance it was energy

Chemistry reading one an others thoughts mentally

Destiny this friend sent to talk some sense in me

Told her the origin of my heart break and anger

Sometimes it’s easier to open up to strangers

I’m not committed but I met this girl that’s really fresh

Still apprehensive from the torture of my last ex

It’s hard having a girl out on tour

But anything in life worth having is worth waiting for

I’m no saint but I’d like to find a better way

I don’t trust women and I think about it every day

Both my parents had multiple divorces

I’m cautious but trying to move forward in the process

Touched my hand and told me it’s okay to feel that way

But don’t let it kill your spirit true love can heal that pain

Looked at her watch and she had to catch a train

So I walked her to the station and my eyes told her thank you

The doors closed and turned away from my friend

Never caught her name I never saw her again
