Lyrics

Angel boy,
Open up and face the day now.
The sooner that you start the sooner you?ll learn what lies in store.
Vacant eyes,
Barely seize the world around you.
A sharper image cuts your mind?s eye free of everyone and everything once more.

Welcome to your life.
It?s a long, long road.
Welcome to your life.
Where the wind bites cold.

Angel boy,
Empty face is lost in thought now.
And prayers of beauty lying safe at home.
There she is,
At her easel gazing dreamlike.
A canvas caressed with vague color in abstract form alone.

And as her body dies,
And the wonder fades.
She stares with frozen eyes,
At the work she made.
Called the long way home.

Bring me my devil,
Send me my angel.
There?s no bridge I wouldn?t cross just to slow the ending.
Bring me my devil,
Send me my angel.
But don?t send me through these woods alone.

Angel boy,
Standing at your mother?s graveside.
Nothing I can do to ease your pain.
Deafening silence.
Nothing left to do or say now.
Somehow you derive some comfort from the pouring rain.

Welcome to your life.
It?s a long, long road.
Welcome to your life.
Yeah the wind bites cold.

And it?s a long way home.
