Jeff Bridges - Brand New Angel lyrics

Well it rained last night and the stars shone bright And way off yonder, we heard the whippoorwill. At the first light of dawn, we heard that he was gone. Our hearts was empty and our eyes was filled. Open the gates, welcome him in, There's a brand new angel, A brand new angel with an old violin. In music we heard all the songs of the birds. And he said that some songs was like clear fall days. But he played his last refrain; oh, but the song will remain. Though he's put his bow down and closed his case. Open the gates, welcome him in, 'Cause there's a brand new angel, There's a brand new angel with a old violin.
