Searching For An Angel
The child I lost within
Flew off on butterfly wings
In search of an angel
In the silence of the night
Wrapped in lullubies
Wings tinged with red
She simply slipped away
I searched for day and days
To find my angel, to show me the way
Shower me with sweet grace
Give me your strength today
Carry me up on the wings of faith
Interlude:
The deeper the love
The sharper the flesh aches
The deeper the love
The longer the shadow plays
Like wild horses running across the plains
Dusty winds burn my eyes again
The deeper the love the
The sharper the flesh aches
The deeper the love
The higher we set the stakes
Heaven is pouring its strongest rains
To wash the pain away
Verse:
The lost stars of the night,
Gathered round for her last flight
My heart left for the moon
I whispered out her name
My heartbeat fluttered again
One beat too soon
She simply slipped away
I searched for day and days
To find my angel
Shower me with sweet grace
Give me the strength today
Carry me on wings of faith
Shower me with sweet grace
Give me the strength today
Carry me on wings of faith
Searching for an angel
The moon spinning towards an eclipse
Searching for an angel
Barren landscapes warp a rare sacred glimpse
In search of an angel
So fragile the wings
So fragile, so fragile all these things
Searching for an angel
Bellied fears and water colored dreams
Searching for an angel
Earthly desires and hushed baby
