Lyrics
RUST AND ANGELS
(Claire Ulanoff/Marissa DiBlasio)
That little whitewashed farmhouse, tin roof and gravel road
Seemed so big when I was little, I loved Grandma's home
Now I'm standing at her bedside with the family crowded in
She says "baby girl don't cry, child, you know when one life ends
Somewhere another begins
Rust and angels
Time flies, time flies
Everything changes
By and by, by and by
To rust and angels
There's a beauty in the history of everything that's here
Granddad's tractor in the field, my old bike's pitted gears
In the twilight as we watched the wrought iron church gate close
I swear that I heard heaven's voices singing her back home
The sweetest soul that I've ever known
Rust and angels
Time flies, time flies
Everything changes
By and by, by and by
To rust and angels
My sister Kathy's babies are playing on the kitchen floor
They're laughing, they're crawling, just learning to explore
Outside the old porch swing is creaking with the wind
We have come full circle, what's old is new again
Rust and angels
Time flies, time flies
Everything changes
By and by, by and by
To rust and angels
