lyrics

Angie, you wrote me
To thank me for playing your party
You were raising some money
To bring the woods to the kids in the city
To bring some good to the poor and the needy

I carried it with me
Started trying to be be kind to my memory
To distinguish the shadows that held me

You told me I was special
Man, that really stuck
Put my heart to the paddles
Tried to give it a jump

And the boarded up sub-basement rooms started stirring
At your voice as you dismantled all my defenses
On the corner of Leetsdale and Forest

On your birthday in Wyoming
Trading tunes with a band of coyotes
The bears came as the light waned
If we died, well we would've died happy
Holding tight, uncontrollably spinning

Made a deal with the earth and her glory
Made a map just by never pretending

Angie, you know me
Better now than most everybody
You saved me, now I'm changing
Never thought I would wanna get married
Gave up on finding some kind of delivery
Never dreamed I would get your mom's blessing

But that smile back in Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je
Caught my lens, saw the circle completing
You're the marrow of every good thing
And I need you forever, completely
I will never abandon you, darling
Cause you're the beginning, the middle, and the ending

You told me I was special
Man, that really stuck
