Wings Of Angels

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 --- Wings of Angels - Judy Collins
