Angle

you are the stranger
I wanted to know
hiding in the shadow
working your angle
an unseen danger
to my heart

the words I hear
sweet like honey
thick and vague
watching what you say
so nothing is conveyed
and no one can see into you

a feeling arranger
keeper of the key
that locks my love
nothing can free me
everything keeps you free
you are in no danger
of loving me
