I DON'T SWIM AGAINST THE STREAM
QUITE AS OFTEN AS I DID
SEEMS THE CURRENT'S GETTING HARDER TO BEAT
LEAVE THE FIGHTING TO THE KIDS

I KNOW THAT SMACKS OF CONSOLATION
OF SURRENDER OR DEFEAT
WITH ALL THE BLOWS THAT THIS POOR SOUL'S TAKEN
I'M SURPRISED I'M ON MY FEET

OH ANGELLE MY DEAR
HOW'D WE GET HERE

ALL THE LOSSES PILING UP
LIKE A WALL AROUND YOUR HEART
WE COULD ALL AVOID THE FINISH
IF WE'D REMEMBER HOW TO START

OH ANGELLE MY DEAR
HOW'D WE GET HERE

I'M YOUR COMPLIMENT REFLECTION
YOU'RE MY GOODTIME MEMORY
HELP ME THROUGH THE CONVERSATIONS
I HOLD YOUR HAND WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE

OH ANGELLE MY DEAR
HOW'D WE GET HERE
