Chris Hillman - Angel's Cry lyrics

Down in the valley where the wild winds blow They say a lady died when the moon cast it's glow A angel in white comes walking real slow Her hands all wrapped in velvet She goes down where the water flows Her hair is black as raven, skin so pearly white A fair maiden never walks alone in the pale moon night Her voice cries often where has my lover gone Took off down the river left me here alone Cry cry the angels cry Come meet me by the willow whispered in her ear She waited there so patiently but he never did appear She heard the horses gallop and the words the rider said Your true love has been taken to hang by the river bed Cry cry the angels cry Why has thou forsaken me she cried out thru the night Grabbed a silver dagger it was there she took her life Now she wanders thru thr valley crying out his name Searching for her lovers ghost but only in vain For he never died that night still she'll never know With her hands all wrapped in velvet She goes down where the water flows Cry cry the angels cry
