Frustrated artist , on death bed looking back over his life - "and The Angels Sigh."

Lyrics

Angels Sigh:



He stared into space like a dog stairs at a bone.
He howled, and he barked, and he cried for the years that were torn,
like the page of a book;
blown? faster with time; . . .
n?the angels sigh.

In the dreams of his youth he recalled all the bar-rooms and taverns.
where he sang, and he prayed for a chance at the wings of stardom,
but God turned a deaf ear:
and his wings turned to stone:
and the angels sigh. . .


[chorus]
ah, ah ah ah ah ah,

Through twilight of darkness he reached out from his hospital gown.
where he has now come to rest in the tomb where all want-to-be?s drowned,
wiping drool from his chin:
a priest is called in:
n? the angels sigh.


[chorus x2 ]
ah, ah ah ah ah ah,
