Slip Into The Ocean

Solo tenor guitar demo of a song for my "Songs of Oceans and Angels" album

Angel Bird
by Kurt L.

do you remember how it goes
do you remember swimming
while you danced to Peter Gabriel

swimming in the sea
the love you felt from me 
was something you could know

an angel bird born without her wings
speaking languages that the mortals only sing
how can I keep the world at bay
I’m just a mortal man 
who must one day fade away

and what else can I do
what else can I do

so we remember how it goes
they said there were things 
that you would never know

and whatever that would be
this world was never pure enough
for you my love

an angel bird born without her wings
speaking languages that the mortals only sing
how can I keep the world at bay
when I’m just a mortal man 
who must one day fade away

and what else can I do
what else can I do
what can I do

you’re such a fragile butterfly
trapped in the world that’s not for you

you speak in riddles and in rhyme
as you masquerade as a human passing through

an angel bird born without her wings
speaking languages that the mortals only sing
how can I keep the world at bay
when I’m a mortal man 
who must one day fade away

and what else can I do
and what else can I do

The cello you hear in the background is one of my effects pedals augmenting the sound of my tenor guitar.
