Grant Hart - She Can See The Angels Coming lyrics

With diamond wings and harps a strumming She can see the angels coming With silver wings and hats of gold They've come to bring her back into the fold And she rambles on insensibly About her china berry tree And reaches out and touches me An opportunity that's not repeating With tearful eyes I see him standing On the bridge above the landing With burdened thoughts he's had before Compel him to commit his final chore Then he throws himself into the air And leaves behind his painful cares And ends his life as one who dared To climb the stairs that lead into the morning The squealing breaks and lights a crashing Consciousness commences crashing And what you can and cannot see Are separated instantly His soul is from the wreckage thrown And suddenly he's on his own Above the land where he had grown His life on loan Collected in the morning
