An angel face smiles to me

under a headline of tragedy,

that smile used to give me warmth.

Farewell, no words to say,

beside the cross on your grave,

and those forever burning candles.

Needed elsewhere,

to remind us of the

shortness of our time.

Tears laid for them!

Tears of love

and tears of fear.

Bury my dreams,

dig up my sorrows

Oh, Lord why

the angels fall first?

Not relieved by

thoughts of Shangri-La,

nor enlightened by

the lessons of Christ.

I'll never understand

the meaning of the right.

Ignorance lead me into the light.

Needed elsewhere,

to remind us of the

shortness of our time.

Tears laid for them!

Tears of love

and tears of fear.

Bury my dreams,

dig up my sorrows

Oh, Lord why

the angels fall first?

Sing me a song of your beauty

and of your kingdom.

Let the melodies of your harps

caress those whom we still need.

Yesterday

we shook hands, my friend.

Today a moonbeam

lightens my path, my guardian.
