Lyrics The Angel - Buffy Sainte-Marie

The Angel

Come now and now my love and leave your dying desert to the rains
Build up your treasured wounds let go the tempting memory of the pain
Give up the vows you’ve taken
And you will live and you will learn to fly away
And you will fly
And you will live my love and see the stars regain your starless night
And you will find your sun and learn the magic meaning of its light
All souls will be yours to cherish rising falling in their earthly flight
And you will fly
And I would love my love and he would seek a refuge in my eyes
But no resource of love could keep him from the fire where loving dies
And I would reach out my hand as he was falling, falling to his home on high
And he would fly
Give up your treasured wounds with those tempting memories of the pain
Give up the vows you’ve taken
And you will live and you will learn to fly again
And you will fly
