Only Angels

Many a days I’ve wandered

Many I have spent

Wishing waiting wanting

And all I’ve done’s a detriment

I’d wade across the waters

Climb the mountain steep

To gaze into the darkness

And sing the child to sleep

But all across the valley

I see the darkness grow

And I am shrinking sinking

Down

               down

                             below

A waterfall of sorrow

A waterfall of sorrow

Because nothing can be caught

Or carried

From here

And only angels know

Life without fear

We went where the waters took us

Many a mile from shore

I was singing like a panther

Dying for a cure

But there are no easy answers

When the questions only hide

We carve and hammer

Spit and bleed

To come out the other side

A waterfall of sorrow

A waterfall of sorrow

Because nothing can be caught

Or carried

From here

And only angels know

Only angels know

Life without fear

Only angels know

Life without fear
