Sorrowful Angels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She loved him most when his eyes were gray
The palest shade of a winter day
They filled her with a raging fire
And a bittersweet desire
She shined for him like candlelight
That softly beckons in the night
But he said no right to her face
Then simply turned and walked away
Chorus
All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleed'n
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
She wore him like a lock and chain
Only in dreams she spoke his name
By day it slipped upon her tongue
The taste of unrequited love
Now her hair is long and gray
The palest shade of a winter day
She never took a ring of gold
She swears she never loved a soul
Chorus
All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleed'n
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
She loved him most when his eyes were gray
