Lyrics

Old Angels
© 2004 kate laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP

Sometimes I awake
Haunted by the things I have said
In my pursuit of peace
So many things I cannot understand

Yesterday was good
A beautiful unspoken promise
A circle of light
Marked the end of my own tunnel

I thought I could see the way things would be
But now I know that I was wrong

Old angels never die
Just fade away
Into some oblivion
And on my doorstep
Flowers weep and cry
Passed by without goodbye
And are gone without a sigh
But I remember them
Oh I remember them

You were kind
Beyond your means you were
Everything to find
If you had wings I know you would fly

But trapped down here
I wondered afraid for some time
Could I love you
In any state of mind

And now I know
The answer is no

There?s just one thing I?d like to say
If there?s anything at all
It?s not that I give up easily
It?s just that I see too clearly
That there?s no use at all
