Angels Fall First
An angelface smiles to meUnder a headline of tragedyThat smile used to give me warmthFarewell - no words to sayBeside the cross on your graveAnd those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhereTo remind us of the shortness of your timeTears laid for themTears of love tears of fearBury my dreams dig up my sorrowsOh Lord whyThe angels fall first?
Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-LaNor enlightened by the lessons of ChristI'll never understand the meaning of the rightIgnorance lead me into the light
Needed elsewhere...
Sing me a songOf your beautyOf your kingdomLet the melodies of your harpsCaress those whom we still need
Yesterday we shook handsMy friendToday a moonbeam lightens my pathMy guardian
