Come Home Angel

Dan Wilson


Oh love, the moment that we live now
Will stay with me forever and ever and ever
Too good, you're too perfect for this world
A visitor a wanderer from somewhere better

When they're calling all the angels
To their great departure place
Leave us earthly creatures to our fates

I'll be riding cross the desert
Trying to find you on your way
Change your mind before they close the gates
And it's too late...

Come home angel
Angel don't go
Come home angel
Angel don't go

Some nights I lie up and watch you sleep
And wonder what places and planets you dream on
Some day I'll come to an empty house
They'll call you back
A silent celestial beacon

When they're calling all the angels
To their great departure place
Leave us earthly creatures to our fates

I'll be riding cross the desert
Trying to find you on your way
Change your mind before they close the gates
And it's too late...

Come home angel
Angel don't go
Come home angel
Angel don't go

They're imaginary people
In a dream of seas and mountains
And the cities and the towns will all be gone
When they wake up
Wake up

I'll be riding cross the desert
Trying to find you on your way
Change your mind before they close the gates
Before it's too late...

Come home angel
Before it's too late
Angel don't go
Come home angel
Angel don't go
