Edwin's Tale - 1862

Peter Breinholt

And I can see the lights go down on Bethel town

And I can see the banners fly tonight

Somewhere out there the cannon's lighting up the sky

And everything is faded into white

I saw on high an angel fly

And looking down upon me there

The stars tonight

Light up the sky

And everything is quiet

Don't take me wrong

And as I stand here wondering

I can't breathe at all

I can't breathe at all

I can't breathe at all

Oh no no

Thomas I don't know what will become of me

And I have never seen this sort of thing

And I have never felt so many miles away

And everything I know I keep it in

And I hear a sound

And looked around

But everyone was quiet

Then from on high

An angel choir

A million voices singing

Don't take me wrong

And as I'm down here watching

I can't breathe at all

I can't breathe at all

I can't breathe at all

Someone's singing songs out there tonight

Li li li li

High li li li li li

High li li li li li

High li li li li li

And still I'll get on

When there's nothing but songs

And there's nothing but songs

In my head

In my head now

In my head

Oh whoa whoa
