Lyrics
Angels Do Cry
First came the angels
Before the fall
When wings of contentment
Covered us all
Before the garden
And childhood's end
We knew their secret
And they were our friends
Angels do cry
Angels do cry
Next came the cities
After the change
Children of Noah
Unwashed by the rains
I stood in the doorway
Between sorrow and gloom
I looked at my children
And I finally knew
Angels do cry
Angels do cry
Now I see them most everywhere
Quickly when I am most of aware
In the outfield, in the shelter
In every hand that reaches out to help or touch you
Its like skin
Like wind
Like breathing
Last came the demons
Those dispossessed souls
Mere simulations
No life in their cells
The bushes keep burning
But nobody hears
The deeper the yearning
The louder the tears
Angels do cry
Angels do cry
