Angel Angel

ANGEL ANGEL
Words and Music Bruce T. Carroll

We skate on the thinnest ice
We float in the stars
We fall in love once or twice
If we cast our nets far
We breath in the spirit air
The now, not yet, and the then
It heals the open wound of the heart
And we breath it out again

When you were legend strong and wise
And I was no more than a boy
I saw something in your clear dark eyes
That time could not destroy
Now your path leads to higher ground
And all rivers run to sea
I listen for your higher sound
And your river runs through me

If I was a banker or big city boy
With a title or deed to the land
If I was a hustler or gambler whose choice
Was to try and win one last hand
If I was a warrior
If I was a king
If I was a scholar
If I knew everything

I'd still sing out:
Angel angel come down here
And wrap your wings around me
Angel angel I don't fear
The things I cannot see...
Only strength can kindness show
And sometimes only blind can see
Angel angel have a heart
And kindly...and gently...and kindly...
Rescue me
