Wings of Angels

Part of me will always wonder
But there's no sense in looking back
Over the miles that lie crying
Between our desires and the cold hard facts
On a rocket ship to the stars
Does your baggage always get lost
And spin towards the earth like falling leaves
As burdens that hold you down get cast off

Chorus
If you see my father
Ask him if he remembers me
If you see my mother
Tell her I'm sorry
Love is the wings of angels
Carried by the wind of regret
Let the healing begin tomorrow
I'm not quite ready yet

I saw you flying through the sky
Towards a moon that was almost full
In my dream I was the ocean
Fighting in vain against it's mighty pull
I remember calling to you
As you sailed right over my head
A whole life lived in a moment
And you heard every word I would've said

Chorus
If you see my father
Ask him if he remembers me
If you see my mother
Tell her I'm sorry
Love is the wings of angels
Carried by the wind of regret
Let the healing begin tomorrow
I'm not quite ready yet


Bridge
It's 3:00 A.M.
And I'm awake again
Looking for meaning to it all
On a dark bedroom wall
My lips make a silent refrain
I will always speak your name
I will always speak your name
