Searching For An Angel Lyrics - Singles - Kara Johnstad

The child I lost within 

Flew off on butterfly wings 

In search of an angel 

In the silence of the night 

Wrapped in lullubies 

Wings tinged with red 

She simply slipped away 

I searched for day and days 

To find my angel, to show me the way 

Shower me with sweet grace 

Give me your strength today 

Carry me up on the wings of faith 

Interlude: 

The deeper the love 

The sharper the flesh aches 

The deeper the love 

The longer the shadow plays 

Like wild horses running across the plains 

Dusty winds burn my eyes again 

The deeper the love the 

The sharper the flesh aches 

The deeper the love 

The higher we set the stakes 

Heaven is pouring its strongest rains 

To wash the pain away 

Verse: 

The lost stars of the night, 

Gathered round for her last flight 

My heart left for the moon 

I whispered out her name 

My heartbeat fluttered again 

One beat too soon 

She simply slipped away 

I searched for day and days 

To find my angel 

Shower me with sweet grace 

Give me the strength today 

Carry me on wings of faith 

Shower me with sweet grace 

Give me the strength today 

Carry me on wings of faith 

Searching for an angel 

The moon spinning towards an eclipse 

Searching for an angel 

Barren landscapes warp a rare sacred glimpse 

In search of an angel 

So fragile the wings 

So fragile, so fragile all these things 

Searching for an angel 

Bellied fears and water colored dreams 

Searching for an angel 

Earthly desires and hushed baby
