Angel wings

Well, it's a sweet place of refuge
Here in your arms
If I fall you keep me safe from harm

With angel wings
Spreading all around
I keep you from flying too close to the ground

Perfumed memories
Of your silken heart
I hold them close when we're far apart

When I'm in darkness
And I can't break free
I see your eyes shining down on me

Spreading wings to hold you close
(Spreading wings to hold you close)
Don't let them read our lovers' notes
Angel wings to lift you high
(Angel wings to lift you high)
Don't let them see the tears you cry

I was tossed by the waves of a stormy sea
Cast up on the sands down by your sanctuary
Betrayed and stranded beneath a burning sky
I watched the waters of my soul run dry

A candle shining
Deep in the night
Leads me home like some guiding light

Ghosts and memories
That don't make a sound
In your house love is all around

Spreading wings to hold me close
(Spreading wings to hold me close)
Don't let them read our lovers' notes
Angel wings to lift me high
(Angel wings to lift me high)
Don't let them see the tears you cry

Spreading wings to hold me close
(Spreading wings to hold me close)
Don't let them read our lovers' notes
Angel wings to lift you high
(Angel wings to lift you high)
Don't let them see the tears we cry
