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
