Angel

The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so small
The legs beneath me weakened
I began to crawl
Confused and contented
I slithered around
Reveal is beyond me
I was lost. I was found

The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak
A strange kind of language
I don’t understand
A babbling fountain
I couldn’t have planned

Oh leave me here
Forever more
I found the peace
I’ve been searching for

The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so high
I swear I could have reached up
Placed my hands upon the sky
A radiant rainbow
Was following me around
With elevated senses
I can see and taste sound

The angel of love was upon me
And Lord, I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene
I waded into the water
I was bathed. I was drowned
Like the sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground

Oh leave me here
Forever more
I found the peace
I’ve been searching for
Oh let me sleep
Forever more
I found the peace
I’ve been searching for
