Lyrics
Angels of Our Better Nature
In the half light where the orchestra plays
Conversation mingles shadow and champagne
Given half a chance
He asks the new girl to dance
Such a simple invitation leads to who knows where . . .
Across a continent sky the colour of clay
San Francisco seems another lifetime away
Given half a chance
We might have owned romance
Such a singular sensation leads to who knows where . . .
Sonoma?s vineyard yields that bring September
Napa?s January mustard fields . . . remember
Was the kiss after the Calvin a kiss completely?
Can you tell me how we lost our way completely?
In the half light where the orchestra plays
Unspoken innuendo takes our breath away
Given half a chance
He asks the new girl to dance
Such a simple invitation leads to who knows where . . .
<< break >>
On a moonlit terrace above a moonlit bay
The angels of our better nature took our breath away
They took a chance
Perhaps they?ll stay for the dance
Such a simple invitation leads to who knows where . . .
Sonoma?s vineyard yields that bring September
Days I?ve yet to spend with you . . . remember
Was the first kiss indeed a kiss completely?
Can you tell me if we?ve found our way completely?
