Lyrics
Angel Of The Medway
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.
If we should fall from the bridge
With a cannonball in our coats
If we should topple overboard
With a chain around our throats
Forgive our strange behaviour
Quiet, hidden saviour
If we should slip from the edge
While distracted in our thoughts
If we should stumble from the path
While feeling overwrought
Forgive us our strange behaviour
Gentle, smiling saviour
And lift us from the muddy water
Lift us from the muddy water
Wrap your wings around us
Wrap your wings around us
Some say you're only make believe
But I know where you sleep
You are forever benign and watching
In the shadow of the keep
And I have seen dolphins and whales and flamingos
As far as Chatham Reach
And I have seen mermaids and mermen on horses
And I have heard them speak
So, lift us from the muddy water
Lift us from the muddy water
Wrap your wings around us
Wrap your wings around us
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Lift us from the muddy water
Lift us from the muddy water
Wrap your wings around us
Wrap your wings around us
…Around us.
