    Genuine New Old Stock. These discs were pressed during 1999-2000 and assembled a few at a time in bedrooms, basements, bars, and backseats of vans. There are plenty of them left. If you want a hard copy of this record, this is all we can offer—no vinyl or cassette in the foreseeable future. Anyway, Chris will be happy to get some of these out of his fucking house, and just as with downloads, we're donating 100% of any money from these to the Midwest Music Foundation. So order away. Note: includes different cover art than current download version.

lyrics

In one seat on one plane
know that you remain my true direction
constant dear concern
and on this morning flight
close my eyes in sunlight saying your name
with everything to learn

A few drops disappear
from Scottish barrels each year
some say angels have their share of all that's fine
stayed awake last night
so afraid
those angels might have taken
the place beside you I hoped could be mine

Passenger dreams, prayer is sent
loss that angels might prevent
here's to halos mercy-bent

If you're waiting for me
if you're wanting to know
if our time is forfeit for the angels' share
I've been waiting for you
through this time I've been low
and I do believe
some chance sustains
if any angels care

Eastward wing
lighter now
brighter now
angel thinks
angel winks
angel leaves this choice to your lips
lights away
to kinder drinks

On landing with a gift
whisper my thanks for the lift
above you, satisfied wings make their ways
they were there last spring
on streets and trains
then as now, I love you
here's a chance that stays

If you're waiting for me
if you're wanting to know
I believe you've been left with the angels' share
I've been waiting for you
I've been constant, if slow
and as you may stand in for an angel
darling please be there
