Song Description
Very introspective but soaring...a sort of a prayer sung during a "dark night of the soul." Melancholy but hopeful. Musically somewhere between Joni Mitchell and Sting. Beautiful cello work and a wicked tabla solo in the break.

Lyrics
Come Down Angel
Down to the aid of the desperate souls
Come down on your nightly rounds
Looking for the truly lost and lonely ones
And you might find me
You might find me
Come down Mercy
Down to the ground in a flutter of wings
Come down to Brokentown
Picking up shards to see what might be saved
And you might save me
You might save me
I've been alive too long to believe that I'll ever get it right
Just a little forgiveness would go a long long way tonight, and
COME DOWN ANGEL
HOW LONG TIL YOU COME DOWN
COME DOWN ANGEL
HOW LONG TIL YOU COME DOWN TO ME
I've seen brambles
Grow from the ground where I'd planted a rose, and
I've seen bandits
Come in in the night and steal my love away
I thought it was mine
Was it ever mine
I've seen your face
Tender and gentle and then I wake up,
You gotta come down angel,
Walking in the real world in real time
Through these nights of mine
These lonely nights of mine
I've been alive too long to believe in a light that I can't see
Come down with a lantern, lady, and
Let it shine on me, and
COME DOWN ANGEL
HOW LONG TIL YOU COME DOWN
COME DOWN ANGEL
HOW LONG TIL YOU COME DOWN TO ME
