Wings of Angels

                                  Wings of angels tears of saints

Prayers and promises won't bring you back

Come to me in dreams again

Wings of angels tears of saints



I lost you on a winter's day

In that cold city far away

A city by a river deep

With promises you could not keep

A place where you had gone to try

A place where you had longed to fly

A city smiling when you cried

A city sleeping when you died



Wings of angels tears of saints

Prayers and promises won't bring you back

Come to me in dreams again

Wings of angels tears of saints



In that cathedral by the hill

We stood and smiled in happier days

The fields along the river's edge

You fished and traveled hungrily

Your light burned in that sunny sky

Your voice above the water rang

I'd give it up give all I have

For one more chance to hear you sing



Wings of angels tears of saints

Prayers and promises won't bring you back

Come to me in dreams again 

Wings of angels tears of saints



Child of thunder in the dark child whose voice was like a lark

Child whose spirits lifted hearts child of many beauties



When the birds flock to the south

When the wind calls to the north

You are in the falling snow

You are beauty going forth

You are heat and you are light

Sun above the mountain's peak

I would give the sun and moon

Once more just to hear you speak



Wings of angels tears of saints

Prayers and promises won't bring you back

Come to me in dreams again

Wings of angels tears of saints



Prayers and Promises
