Kara Johnstad - Searching For An Angel lyrics

The child I lost within Flew off on bu*terfly wings In search of an angel In the silence of the night Wrapped in lullubies Wings tinged with red She simply slipped away I searched for day and days To find my angel, to show me the way Shower me with sweet grace Give me your strength today Carry me up on the wings of faith Interlude: The deeper the love The sharper the flesh aches The deeper the love The longer the shadow plays Like wild horses running across the plains Dusty winds burn my eyes again The deeper the love the The sharper the flesh aches The deeper the love The higher we set the stakes Heaven is pouring its strongest rains To wash the pain away Verse: The lost stars of the night, Gathered round for her last flight My heart left for the moon I whispered out her name My heartbeat fluttered again One beat too soon She simply slipped away I searched for day and days To find my angel Shower me with sweet grace Give me the strength today Carry me on wings of faith Shower me with sweet grace Give me the strength today Carry me on wings of faith Searching for an angel The moon spinning towards an eclipse Searching for an angel Barren landscapes warp a rare sacred glimpse In search of an angel So fragile the wings So fragile, so fragile all these things Searching for an angel Bellied fears and water colored dreams Searching for an angel Earthly desires and hushed baby
