Slow Giving

Slow Giving - Daniel Lanois

Slow giving

Slow coming

Slow giving

Slow coming

Joy giving

Joy coming

Love giving

Love coming

Angel

I've seen you in the rocket speed

I've seen you in the ground that feeds

My angel

With me you've crawled through the trenches

Forever scaling my defenses

I need you now

In my rebel mind

Please lock the door

And hang a sign

My heart is open wide

But the bleeding's hard to stop

Explain to me what is

And what is not

What is

What is

What is

Slow giving

Slow coming

Your my water fall

Slow giving

Slow coming

Water fall wonderful

Joy giving

Joy coming

Love giving

Love coming

Angel until the beast in me forever burns

It's hard to know which way to turn

On the guard rail

Of your twenty five years I

Feel the piercing ember of every tear

On a desert plane

On my knees

Broken and ragged sayin'

Please baby

Please baby please

Oh

Angel I've lost so many times

Please please show me a sign

On a pretty lip

Slow giving

Slow coming

On a broken grip

Don't let me bring the roof down

Let me build my spirit sound

I'm standin' right back where I started

Please let me be open hearted

Oh angel

My sweet

Angel

Angel
