Archangel (CD Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Portrait - 1966)

Silence
To hear once more
Her footsteps
Down the shadowed corridor
Frightened
You're overdue
The darkest day
Goes on until it's blessed by you

Archangel rising on the moon
Just to save me from this tomb
I'll cry the tears of time all day
'Til she wipes them all away

Outside my window
On silver trumpets children play
I stand here watching
The dying of an ageless day
Dismiss young couples
Who go home to their knowing bed
And watch the rooftops
Where silent shadows slowly spread
Sleeping their dreamless sleep
They'll never know
The secrets this room keeps
They'll wake when
I'm born again
The rent's been paid
So hurry
Carry me away

Archangel rising on the moon
Just to save me from this tomb
I'll cry the tears of time all day
'Til she wipes them all away
