Angel Fire

I never knew the dusk could seem so sad

An empty aching in my soul.

In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind

The shining world outlasts us all.

Even the mountains seem to know you're gone

The foothills shimmer where they stand.

The sky is still and much too beautiful

And I am missing you again.

Lift me over the San Gabriels

leaning into the southern sky.

The foothills burning in the afterglow

an angel fire passing by.

I think of songs I might have sung to you

The love I wanted you to hear.

Everytime the blazing sun goes down

Another promise disappears.

I never knew the dusk could break my heart

So much longing folding in

I'd give years away to have you here

You know I can't lose you again.

Lift me over the San Gabriels

leaning into the southern sky.

A flight of angels must be in the wind

I know they'll pass this way tonight.

Help me remember the San Gabriels

the foothills burning in the light.

Let my heart rise up to where you are

I long to be with you tonight.

I long to be with you tonight

I long to be with you tonight
