Story Behind The Song
Based partly on someone I know who loves to visit graveyards, and then expanded by others I know through my work with people in recovery from mental illness.
Song Description
The figure in this song is sad, lonely and probably fiercely shy. She's a daydreamer who never moves out of her comfort zone, but lives on her memories.

Lyrics
Angels In Heaven
When she feels sad and lonely
She walks through the graveyards searching for ghosts
For Company.
She enters the pages of history
Walks through the streets of Paris and Rome
Yet seldom comes home
From the isles of the local library.
Chorus
If there are angels in heaven
Watching her now as she prays
Longing for someone to love her
Someone who'll stay.
Longing for something to soothe her
A shiver that feels like the breathe of a sigh
From a long lost love.
Something to startle and move her
Into an action she can't postpone anymore
Like opening a door
Step through the clouds into heaven above.
Chorus.
