Angel

The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so small
The legs beneath me weakened
I began to crawl
Confused and contented
I slithered around
With feelings beyond me
I was lost, I was found
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak
A strange kind of language
I don't understand
A babbling fountain
I couldn't have planned
Oh leave me here forevermore
I found the peace I've been searching for
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so high
I swear I could have reached up
Placed my hands upon the sky
A radiant rainbow was following me around
With elevated senses I could see and taste sound
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene
I waded into the water
I was bathed, I was drowned
Like all sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground
Oh leave me here forevermore
I found the peace I've been searching for
Oh let me sleep forevermore
I found the peace I've been searching for
