Angel, angel, angel, you’re
sneaky in your ways,
conning me for the greater good here
in these evil days.
Angel, angel, angel, you
sent me on the road,
to a foreign capital for a
face I didn’t know. I
bought that ticket to New Haven for
you, but you then disappeared. My
boss rearranged my schedule
too, and I could not stay here. I
took that train on a Tuesday, then
hopped on Peter Pan. To
Hartford I did go, new
sight was the plan.

Tangled, tangled, tangled, I’m
caught in city gaze,
caressing me throughout the hours in
downtown Hartford maze.
Tangled, tangled, tangled, I
caught a homeless man, an
angel on the town skywalk –
what a circumstance. I
brought some lunch in Hartford for
two, inside the state house square. My
wallet tossed out some dollars
too – from what I saw as fair. I
climbed back aboard Peter Pan, then
took the next train home. From
Hartford I did leave, new
sight I had known.
