Archangel
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
If I saw the loneliness in your eye
Dont cry for me for I would die
For i've shed a tear all my life
That fell from the mountainside
And you set me free so dont you cry
Dry the tear from your eye
If I saw the loneliness in your eye
Dont cry for me for I would die
And I don't care if I lied
My heart broke in two but I fly
And all my life I cried for you
You've cried for me through and through
If I saw the loneliness in your eye
Dont cry for me for I would die
And I've cried all of my life
For you to catch me as I fall
To sleep in your winged arms
So sing to me evermore your charms
