Huddle angel in the dark
and hide your heart a little longer
Hold on until the voices hush
and the light's a little stronger

Build your storied castle
where the oceans meet your eyes
and find a better wish
flooding in with each sunrise

We met at chance or fate
in the schoolyard of our lives
and yet it was still too late
for this wayward love to survive

But dreams are born
on broken wings
through doubt and scorn
and a thousand things

If we fear them, then let us embrace
the fleeting moments we dare to hold
here in this forgotten place
that our foolish hearts once sold

If noise arises to challenge hope
and regret plays the record all wrong
Still I hold on to this frayed rope
and our once and imperfect song
