Angels In The Wilderness
(Michael Timmins )


Are there angels in the wilderness, I don't know
I've got my doubts, but if you say so
But I've got a feeling we're doing alright
we're doing our part, to make a bramble seem less sharp
when you ask for bread will I give you stone
will I make you confess it, or leave it along
if it consoles you will I take it away
hold my hand help me to understand
you break my heart again and again
will I ever get used to that sensation
all those locusts just trying to get out
devouring with tiny bites
all the lies in site
fly forgotten
like a prayer
fly forgotten like a dream
fly forbidden
fly unseen
fly, fly, fly away from me

Are there angels in the wilderness I don't know
but I'll give you my love and watch the bitterness grow
and then will I take it and hide it away
and wait on the day when the balance tips your way
fly forgotten
like a prayer
fly forgotten
like a dream
fly forbidden
fly unseen
fly, fly, fly away from me

Are there angels in the wilderness
I don't know
