Virtue

The thing 'bout the day that we met I remember
I had this feeling I'd known you forever
Much like a magnet, more like a tether
Without you I float in the wind like a feather

Try as I may, I'd never hurt you
Though I'm no angel my name is a virtue
Somebody told me that they can hear hope
In all of the words that get stuck in my throat

Pour out my pockets, I'm empty handed
I try to explain but they don't understand it
Can you close your eyes and just try to imagine?
Walking toward me, you're holding a lantern

Let ya decide, I'll let ya decide
I'll go along with it, I'll close my eyes
Since you've been gone, there's nothing to lose
Whatever you want from me, I let you choose

Sweet is the touch of your new-born wings
We fly in circles and play with the sun
We haven't seen this world before
So fair, so bright, so blue the sky
