Karaoke Angel

I walked into a bar and gave my heart away

To the first stranger I met who could remember my name

Got up on the stage and sang at the top of my lungs

It's so easy

It's so easy to fall in love

Mike walked over

He was picking up what I was putting down

He said, "Honey, I am only gonna disappoint you somehow"

Oh, Mike, quit talking to me like

You're saying something I didn't already know

I can tell by the beauty of the furrow in your brow

You've been anointed by disappointment many a night

And it might even be something you like

I pull up a stool next to Jacob

He is sitting up at the bar

He likes to watch karaoke and to sing to himself in his car

I say, "Hey, Jacob, when are you gonna get up and give us one?"

"I was not born to give my heart away to strangers, hon."

Jacob's already seen the most beautiful things

And he knows they have nothing to do with his dreams

I turn to my right and there is Tommy

He's drinking again

Sharpening his soul with the alcohol, like he's gonna need it

Or something

I say, "Hey, Tom, what are you waiting on?"

He says, "Nothing.  Something to give."

"Why don't you give it to me?  I've been waiting patiently."

Patience is infinite

Patience is infinite

Patience

Tommy's on the stage singing "Dream Angel" for Susanne

She wants a baby more than anything

And I think Tommy will give it to her if he can

I am going home alone again tonight

I don't know much about love, but the view

Well, the view sure is nice
