Melissa Etheridge "Talking to my Angel"

Merlyn comforts Caleb after her death:

Don't be afraid
Close your eyes
Lay it all down
Don't you cry
Can't you see I'm going
Where I can see the sun rise
I've been talking to my angel
And he said that it's alright

I've always had to run
I don't know just why
Desire slowly smoking
Under the midwest sky
There's something waiting out there
That says I've got to try
I've been talking to my angel
And he said that it's alright

This town thinks I'm crazy
They just think I'm strange
Sometimes they want to own me
Sometimes they wish I'd change
But I can feel the thunder
Underneath my feet
I sold my soul for freedom
It's lonely but it's sweet

Don't be afraid
Close your eyes
Lay it all down
Don't you cry
Can't you see I'm going
Where I can see the sun rise
I've been talking to my angel
And he said that it's alright

Pearl Jam "Angel"

Merly tells Caleb how she feels now:

Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm so tortured, 'cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm not alone
Mind is not a celestial state with idle helms of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide, alone at night
Oh please, please think of me, 'cause I'm, I'm by your side
I'm by your side, I'm by your side, oh...
I'm...I'm right in front of you...I'm by your side...

Jon Secada "Angel"

Caleb tells Merly how much he misses her:

I, I can't read the future but I still wanna hold you close
Right now, I need that from you
So give me the morning
Sharing another day with you is all I want to know
And baby, I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes still shines, you shine like an angel
A spirit that won't let me go

And I, I didn't wanna tell you things I didn't wanna know myself
I was afraid to show
But you, you gave me a reason, a reason to face the truth,
oh yes you did
To face the truth, face the truth, face the truth
And baby, I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes still shines, shine, shine like an angel
A spirit that won't let me go, let go of my heart
Won't let me go, let go of my heart

And baby, I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes still shines, like an angel
A spirit that won't let me go
