Angel Fire

Quietly slipping away are the fertile ties

that have bound us.

Behind its subtle ways you know this world

can hide and surround us.

And living in a lonely room beneath the

tomb oh, of another sky

they tell me that it's a shame not a word

was spoken as the bottom line was broken,

but it's coming back again.

And after all this time

the stillness still can shake me

to the corners of my mind

where the Angel Fire

oh, the Angel Fire shines.

She held me like the rest and wore her

summer dress so full of flowers.

And just as if to stay we loved along the

way but the time was not ours.

And standing there beneath the sun

I watched the river run

oh, as the kids float by.

It was a father and a son who made a simple

turning into a permanent good-bye,

but let's give it one more try.

And after all this time

the stillness still can shake me

to the corners of my mind

where the Angel Fire

oh, the Angel Fire shines.

Well, she held us in her morning

this one last time and we will be gone.

And looking up we watched the angels

paint the sky.

And with the passion of a picture

we made our silent ride down

just happy with this portion of our lives

And after all this time

the stillness still can shake me

to the corners of my mind

where the Angel Fire,

oh, the Angel Fire shines.
