John & Mary Angels Of Stone
The silence underneath the snow
Footprints where the grass won't grow revealed.
Promise I won't be too late
Through the dark the iron gate was sealed.
Someone came to lock our path
'Boost me up, I'll lift the latch,' we kneeled.
When night met day, day met night
There we stood beneath the sudden light.
And did you listen?
It's like I've heard this still sound before.
Sunlight prism wide awake
Birds rest on the frozen lake, I saw them
When day met night, night met day
Touch my hand, I think I know the way.
There in the park where we used to play
Angels of stone, they would always pray.
A yellow room by candleglow
Picnic snapshots long ago, just happy.
And father's boat, his raging tales
The magic wind that filled its sails could last me.
One chance, and it has passed me
When day met night, night met day
All this time, I thought that I could stay.
There in the park where we used to play
Angels of stone, they would always pray.
Silence underneath the snow
Footprints where the grass won't grow.
