lyrics

I wish I had an angel
Up on the shelf
I'd tell her all my secrets
When I talk to myself
A genie in a bottle
Oh, that ain't my style
I wish I had an angel
With a beautiful smile
Sell all my trophies for a little bit of luck
Racing for glories but then I get stuck
I ain't asking to fly like a bird on the wind
I wish I had an angel
or a really good friend
If I had an angel
We'd go out to the beach
Sail across the ocean
On those nine-foot wings
That genie in a bottle
He'd be floating in my wine
'Cause if I had an angle
I'd have a really good time
Sell all my trophies for a little bit of luck
Racing for glories but then I get stuck
I ain't asking to fly like a bird on the wing
Oh, no
I just wish I had an angel
Or a really good friend
I wish I had an angle
Or a really good friend
I wish I had an angle
Up on the shelf
I'd tell all those secrets
Even the ones I won't tell to myself
That genie in a bottle
I'd just ask him one wish
I'd say, I wish I had an angel
For a beautiful kiss
Sell all my trophies for a little bit of luck
Racing for glories but then I get stuck
I ain't asking to fly like o'l Gabrielle did
Oh, no
I just wish I had an angel
Or a really good friend
I wish I had an angle
Or a really good friend
This is how I talk to that angle
I'd say Please, Please
Baby, please

Easy On My Mind
by Kelley McRae

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil

'Be It'

Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
