Song For The Angels (Miracle Version)

from Hands In Dirty Ground EP by Great Lake Swimmers

/

about

Outtake from the "Bodies and Minds" sessions in 2004. Recorded by Andy Magoffin at The House Of Miracles.

lyrics

The echo to your yell, the ripple to your dive
The currents under your waves
Electricity is part of me
I give it up to you
We were charged with the pounding pulse
Of a million years
And millions before us have trembled with their fears

I never saw you, never heard you
But I knew that you were there
Everywhere, I could feel you all around me

Well I know that I am just a grain of sand
Meeting water at the land
We could make our castles here
And sweep them all away
Well I know that I am just a drop of water
Frozen into ice
On the stormy earth, that gave us birth
Over and over, in cycles, lovely cycles

I never saw you, never heard you
But I knew that you were there
Everywhere, I could feel you all around me
