lyrics
Angels and Devils
Like a snowfall in the month of May,
Frost burning roses on a summer day.
I was singing when I was alone,
My dreaming broken by the telephone.
Beautiful and beauty falls,
Beautiful and beauty falls.
They were not perfect, though you'd never know
And in a muddle helped their children grow.
They had no money, but they danced and sang.
This beautiful lady and her handsome man.
These dear folks knew to keep true hearts.
They're fading now like works of art.
Lest we forget at our peril, as we dance among our angels and our devils.
Swollen feet and a rocking chair,
She was a dancer, but no-one cares.
I saw her moving when they played her song.
Her body whirling all night long.
These dear folks knew to keep true hearts.
They're fading now like works of art.
Lest we forget at our peril, as we dance among the angels and the devils.
He was a diver in a bright, blue bay.
Could spin a yarn back in the day.
Just a fragment of a memory.
"Hold me close" he said to me.
Beautiful, and beauty falls...mmmm
Beautiful, and beauty falls....mmmm
So give your friend a call to wish her well
Her life is crashing down - can't you tell?
She was singing when she was alone
Her dreaming broken by the telephone.
These dear folks knew to keep true hearts.
They're fading now like works of art.
Lest we forget at our peril, as we dance among our devils and our angels.
As we dance among our devils and our angels.
