Calling All Angels Lyrics - Live At The Mauch Chunk Opera House - Wailin' Jennys

A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries 

And high above, the church bells start to ring 

And as the heaviness, the heaviness, oh it settles in 

And somewhere you can hear a mother sing 

Then it's one foot, then the other 

As you step out on the road 

You step out on that road 

How much weight? How much? 

Then it's how long? And how far? 

And how many times? 

Oh, before it's too late... 

Calling all angels 

Calling all angels 

Walk me through this one 

Don't leave me alone 

Calling all angels 

Calling all angels 

We're tryin', we're hopin' 

But we're not sure how this goes 

Oh, and everyday you gaze upon the sunset 

With such love and intensity 

Why, it's almost as if 

Oh, if you could only crack the code 

Then we'd finally understand 

What this all means 

Oh, but if you could 

Do you think you would 

Trade in all, all the pain and suffering? 

Oh, but then you'd miss the beauty 

Of the light upon this earth 

And the sweetness of leaving 

Calling all angels 

Calling all angels 

Walk me through this one 

Don't leave me alone 

Calling all angels 

Calling all angels 

We're tryin', we're hopin' 

But, we're not sure how 

Calling all angels 

Calling all angels 

Walk me through this one 

Don't leave me alone 

Calling all angels 

Calling all angels 

We're tryin', we're hopin' 

We're lovin' and we're hurtin' 

We're cryin', we're callin' 

Because we're not sure how this goes...
