Stop by to say I love you

Every time he passes through

I was lost and I had missed you

They're the words I listen to.

And even if I stop

I know the conversation will go on

And every word I haven't said I take for granted.

I've packed my bag a hundred times

Told my mom I'm coming home

Bought a ticket down the river

The only current that I know.

But a day becomes a year

And all the kisses cover the fears

And the tears become the dawn of another day.

And the angels on the banks

Come to row me down the river

These strangers with their angel wings.

All these strangers on the banks

Come to row me down the river

With their angel wings

Their angel wings.

I had a dream that I was pretty

That I could fool your wild eyes

Start believing that I'm witty

That I'd never compromise.

The dreams we fool

The mozart room

The old tattoo I got from you

I try to wash it off my body one last time.

Before the angels on the banks

Come to row me down the river

These strangers with their angel wings.

All the strangers on the banks

Have come to row me down the river

With their angel wings

Their angel wings.

Oh, I've never been rescued before

Oh, I've never seen the end of a war

I've never caught the grace of a lullaby

Not the way that all the angels sing tonight.

All the angels on the banks

Have come to row me down the river

These strangers with their angel wings

All these strangers on the banks

Have come to row me down the river

With their angel wings

Their angel wings.
