Angels fall first
Angels Fall First
Em                 G
An angelface smiles to me
            D         Em
Under a headline of tragedy
           G                  Ddim
That smile used to give me warmth
Em           G
Farewell - no words to say
      D                   Em
beside the cross on your grave
          G                  Ddim
and those forever burning candles
Em           C
Needed elsewhere
      D              Am              Em
to remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
D             Am        F
Tears of love, tears of fear
C                G


Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Em       C
Oh, Lord why
G               D
the angels fall first
Not relieved by thougts of Shangri-La
Nor enlightened by lessons of Christ
I'll never understand the meaning of the right
Ignorance lead me into the light
Sing me a song
of your beauty
of your kingdom
Let the melodies of your harps
caress those whom we still need
Yesterday we shook hands
My friend
Today a moonbeam lightens my path
My guardian
