An angel face smiles to me
under a headline of tragedy,
that smile used to give me warmth.
Farewell, no words to say,
beside the cross on your grave,
and those forever burning candles.
Needed elsewhere,
to remind us of the
shortness of our time.
Tears laid for them!
Tears of love
and tears of fear.
Bury my dreams,
dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
the angels fall first?
Not relieved by
thoughts of Shangri-La,
nor enlightened by
the lessons of Christ.
I'll never understand
the meaning of the right.
Ignorance lead me into the light.
Needed elsewhere,
to remind us of the
shortness of our time.
Tears laid for them!
Tears of love
and tears of fear.
Bury my dreams,
dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
the angels fall first?
Sing me a song of your beauty
and of your kingdom.
Let the melodies of your harps
caress those whom we still need.
Yesterday
we shook hands, my friend.
Today a moonbeam
lightens my path, my guardian.
under a headline of tragedy,
that smile used to give me warmth.
Farewell, no words to say,
beside the cross on your grave,
and those forever burning candles.
Needed elsewhere,
to remind us of the
shortness of our time.
Tears laid for them!
Tears of love
and tears of fear.
Bury my dreams,
dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
the angels fall first?
Not relieved by
thoughts of Shangri-La,
nor enlightened by
the lessons of Christ.
I'll never understand
the meaning of the right.
Ignorance lead me into the light.
Needed elsewhere,
to remind us of the
shortness of our time.
Tears laid for them!
Tears of love
and tears of fear.
Bury my dreams,
dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
the angels fall first?
Sing me a song of your beauty
and of your kingdom.
Let the melodies of your harps
caress those whom we still need.
Yesterday
we shook hands, my friend.
Today a moonbeam
lightens my path, my guardian.
