Angel

Angel © Gayna Rose Madder

I’d lie awake, making shapes from cracks in the ceiling;

I’d close my eyes, and recognise a beckoning feeling;

Take me back to that familiar place;

I’ll go to inner space if I can see your face;

And when I get there, if I want to stay,

Will you be there next day, or will you go away?

My archangel’s gone missing: oh, Michael, where are you?

It seems that something I should see is just beyond my view.

Gabriel or Raphael or Uriel would do;

I looked to find you in the sky, but you were missing too.

Oh, Angel, where are you? Where are you?

I know what you had told me; your warnings all came true;

I swear I’ll listen this time; oh, Angel, where are you?

I fell in love with something that simply wasn’t there

I kept on pushing open doors to find nothing but air;

Oh, Angel, where are you? Where are you?

Oh, Angel, where are you? Where are you?

I tell myself though I feel empty inside, I’m just fine;

But though I know that I can live and breathe, can I shine?

My archangel’s gone missing: oh, Michael, where are you?

Are you right there for me to see yet just beyond my view?

And do you watch me looking, the thought of you in mind,

Not even knowing how to seek, not knowing what I’ll find?

Oh, Angel, where are you? Where are you?

I know what you have told me; I know that it was true;

I swear I’ll listen this time; oh, Angel, where are you?

I fell in love with something that simply wasn’t there

I kept on pushing open doors to find nothing but air;

Oh, Angel, where are you? Where are you?

Oh, Angel, where are you? Where are you?
