lyrics

Garden Angel

Once upon a years ago, I must have been ‘round eight
My brother told me angels lived down by our garden gate
They never ever showed themselves, I thought they must be shy
But I believed in garden angels, being young and wise

The seas run high
They cradle me, I throw my oars away
We wave goodbye
Reaching out to them, so I say

Tell me the time when I can feel free by myself
Leave me a line to walk upon
Give me some time so I can be free by myself
Leave me a net to fall back on

Twice upon a week ago, it must’ve been ‘round eight
A stranger rang and told me “You’ve got angels on your case”
She said “You’ve got no need to worry, things will work out fine”
I always knew my garden angel’s been here all this time

The seas run high
They cradle me, I throw my oars away
We wave goodbye
Reaching out to them, so I say

Tell me the time…
