Fallen Angel

(Album: Robbie Robertson - 1987)

Are you out there?
Can you hear me?
Can you see me in the dark?

I don't believe it's all for nothing
It's not just written in the sand
Sometimes I thought you felt too much
And you crossed into the shadowland

And the river was overflowing
And the sky was fiery red
You gotta play the hand that's dealt ya
That's what the old man always said

Fallen Angel
Cast a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes can't see
The spirit of the chosen one

In my dream the pipes were playing
In my dream I lost a friend
Come down Gabriel and blow your horn
Someday we will meet again

Fallen Angel
Cast a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes can't see
The spirit of the chosen one

All the tears
All the rage
All the blues in the night
If my eyes can't see
You kneeling in the silver light

Falling, falling, falling down
Falling, falling down
Falling, falling, falling down
Falling, falling down
Falling, falling, falling down
Falling, falling down

Fallen Angel
Cast a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes can't see
The spirit of the chosen one

All the tears
All the rage
All the blues in the night
If my eyes can't see
You kneeling in the silver light

If you're out there can you touch me?
Can you see me? I don't know
If you're out there can you reach me
And lay a flower in the snow?
