[Intro: Acoustic guitar, slow gypsy jazz swing, melancholic upright bass]

[Verse 1]
Angelo had a smile like a silver blade,
Sharp enough to cut through every promise he made.
He wore his coat like a king of the street,
With the dust of a dozen hearts on his feet.
I kept the lamp burning in the window frame,
Whispering to the shadows his beautiful name.
But shadows don't answer, and shadows don't stay,
They just melt into black at the end of the day.

[Chorus]
Oh, don’t wait for Angelo, don’t hold your breath,
His love is a fever that leads to a death.
He’ll promise you moonlight, he’ll promise you gold,
Then leave you shivering in the bitter cold.
Yeah, don’t cry for Angelo... he’s already gone,
Chasing a new heart before the dawn.

[Verse 2]
He came by last night with a bruise on his hand,
Talking 'bout a deal that didn't go as planned.
He needed my ring and the keys to the car,
Said, "Baby, I’m gonna be a shooting star."
I gave him the gold, and I gave him the years,
While he drank my wine and ignored my tears.
He kissed my forehead, so cold and so light,
And walked out the door into the velvet night.

[Bridge: Mournful acoustic guitar solo, fast fingerpicking, dramatic pauses]
[Verse 3]
The police came knocking at half past three,
Asking if Angelo was staying with me.
I looked at the empty glass on the floor,
And the ghost of his shadow by the bedroom door.
I told them I’d never heard of the man,
As I watched the dust settle on my empty hand.
He’s halfway to Vegas or deep in the clay,
Either way, darlin’, there’s no price to pay.

[Outro: Slowing tempo, lonely guitar chords, fading vocals]
Don’t wait for Angelo...
He never was yours.
Just a breeze blowing through...
Open doors.
[End]
