Story Behind The Song

She really does have diamond eyes, and one day the lights went out, and I did what I could to bring back the dazzle.

Song Description

Tom?s Reflections: When someone has eyes that sparkle like diamonds, it?s easy to care. And one day, when you see those same eyes dark and cold as spent embers, it?s hard to bring back the glisten. But you try, by offering everything -- your heart, sou

FLY, ANGEL, FLY

From the album "The Boys We Are" performed by Wyld, Dark Heart

Angel stopped flyin', Started crawlin'.
Angel got problem. Angel ain?t talkin?.
Somethin' 'bout someone Angel seein' real steady.
Somethin' 'bout somethin' 'bout
Someone not ready.

"Talk to me, Angel." She don't say a thing.
Play with angel hair. Toy with angel wing.
Miss the way she looks when she looks down from the sky.
Missin' all that shiny silver in her diamond eyes.

You carry more than
You've been carried,
And it don't seem right.
Ain't it time somebody carry you
With his own wings tonight?

FLY, ANGEL, FLY
Let that world go by.
You belong to the sky
So fly, my angel, fly.
FLY, ANGEL, FLY

You carry more than
You've been carried,
And it don't seem right
Ain't it time somebody carry you
With his own wings tonight?

FLY, ANGEL, FLY
Let that world go by.
You belong to the sky.
So fly, my angel, fly.
FLY, ANGEL, FLY

In her past is locked some disability.
Clouds so thick. No visibility.
I tell her, I can't fly while she is in pain.
Let me help you, sweet angel, help you out of the rain.

She glares! Diamond eyes glisten.
She flares! Angel has listened.
She says, "Until I met you, I kept my love on ice.
But now I can't take the heat here in paradise.

I?d love it if you carried me.
Oh, it just seems right.
The night is ours, so please carry me
With your own wings tonight.

FLY, ANGEL, FLY
Let that world go by
We belong to the sky
So fly, my angel, fly.
FLY, ANGEL, FLY?
