Why couldn’t she notice, I could not ever know, Maybe she was high and I was just too low, ‘Twas maybe the design between angel and man, I’m stuck right here to do the best that I can To do everything that's possible, in relentless pursuit, To keep reaching out for this angel, This forbidden fruit…
