speaking with the angel.

by ron sexsmith.

he don´t know how to lie or undermine you
he don´t know how to steal
how to deal or deceive
so leave him alone
set him free
´cause he´s speaking with the angel
speaking with the angel
that only he can see

you say he´s so helpless but what about you
you don´t pull the strings
don´t you know anything
leave him alone
let him be
´cause he´s speaking with the angel
speaking with the angel
that only he can see

would you teach him ´bout heaven
would you show him how to love the earth
would you poison him with prejudice
from the moment of his birth

he, in the name of love, in the blood of the lamb
he that never lays blame
he don´t even know his name
so leave him alone
set him free
´cause he´s speaking with the angel
speaking with the angel
the very one that spoke to you and me

my last night in lima i joined laurie and rik for a gathering at another teacher couple´s house. we enjoyed good food, cerveza and vino and sang songs. i was a bit apprehensive at first as i can´t sing but it really was so delightful. some songs were spanish (silvio the cuban) and others were classics (peter paul and mary, the doors). teaching internationally really doesn´t sound like a bad gig.
