Wings Of Angels Lyrics - Judy Collins

Wings of angels tears of saints 

Prayers and promises won't bring you back 

Come to me in dreams again 

Wings of angels tears of saints 

I lost you on a winter's day 

In that cold city far away 

A city by a river deep 

With promises you could not keep 

A place where you had gone to try 

A place where you had longed to fly 

A city smiling when you cried 

A city sleeping when you died

Wings of angels tears of saints 

Prayers and promises won't bring you back 

Come to me in dreams again 

Wings of angels tears of saints 

In that cathedral by the hill 

We stood and smiled in happier days 

The fields along the river's edge 

You fished and traveled hungrily 

Your light burned in that sunny sky 

Your voice above the water rang 

I'd give it up give all I have 

For one more chance to hear you sing 

Wings of angels tears of saints 

Prayers and promises won't bring you back 

Come to me in dreams again 

Wings of angels tears of saints

Child of thunder in the dark child whose voice was like a lark 

Child whose spirits lifted hearts child of many beauties 

When the birds flock to the south 

When the wind calls to the north 

You are in the falling snow 

You are beauty going forth 

You are heat and you are light 

Sun above the mountain's peak 

I would give the sun and moon 

Once more just to hear you speak 

Wings of angels tears of saints 

Prayers and promises won't bring you back 

Come to me in dreams again 

Wings of angels tears of saints
