Homesick Angel Lyrics - Singles - Cadillac Sky

Pure as a kiss from the lips of God 

A red rose bloomin out a canyon rock 

Through a hole in the cloud she fell one day 

Left her home on high so far away 

From the day she came into this world 

There were tears in the eyes of that baby girl 

We tried everything to heal the hurt 

But she never could find peace on earth 

So goodbye, farewell homesick angel 

May Heaven's shores be a sight for your sore eyes 

Oh I wish you well homesick angel 

I just wish we'd had more time 

From a hillside grave a preacher asked 

Who could blame that girl for rushing back 

Who among us once they'd seen that place 

Would ever want to set a foot outside those gates 

So goodbye, farewell homesick angel 

May Heaven's shores be a sight for your sore eyes 

Oh I wish you well homesick angel 

I just wish we had more time 

God is God and I'm just a man 

So I guess I'll never understand 

But the fire inside that lights my faith 

Is the smile I'll see upon her face 

When I hold her again that day.... 

So goodbye, farewell homesick angel 

May Heaven's shores be a sight for your sore eyes 

Oh I wish you well homesick angel 

Yeah I just wish we had more time 

Yeah I just wish we'd had more time
