Silver On The Tree Angel Tears

Maggie Reilly


Down from an icy sky 
Cold shadows 
Chase another day away

Dark is rising 
The light recedes 
Diana blowing silver on the tree

Closing in a timeless chase 
Sea tumbles 
Over helpless grains of sand

Water rising 
The light recedes 
Diana blowing silver on the tree

I have never lain in orchards 
Or in fields of golden corn 
I've never walked by moonlight 
Or risen up to see a new day dawn

I have never swum in pools of fire 
Or sailed the seven seas 
And I had never eaten 
Until you showed how hungry I could be

Angel tears 
Falling down across the centuries 
I can feel 
Silver threads still binding you to me

Tonight stirs a longing 
And the years just drift away 
Angel tears 
Prove that love never dies

Tonight there's another star 
Out in the universe 
Time stood still 
When I saw angel tears 

In your eyes

I have never dived so deeply 
Into the clear blue ocean waves 
Or thought I could discover 
This wonder in the precious gift you gave

Angel tears 
Falling down across the centuries 
I can feel 
Silver threads still binding you to me

Tonight stirs a longing 
And the years just drift away 
Angel tears 
Prove that love never dies

Tonight there's another star 
Out in the universe 
Time stood still 
When I saw angel tears 

Time stood still 
When I saw angel tears 
In your eyes

Bow to the wind 
Roll with the seasons 
Bow to the wind 
Roll with the seasons

Angel tears 
Falling down across the centuries 
I can feel 
Silver threads still binding you to me

Tonight stirs a longing 
And the years just drift away 
Angel tears 
Prove that love never dies

Tonight there's another star 
Out in the universe 
Time stood still 
When I saw angel tears 

Tonight stirs a longing 
And the years just drift away 
Angel tears 
Prove that love never dies

Tonight there's another star 
Out in the universe 
(Time stood still) 
(When I saw angel tears)

(Dark is rising) 
(The light recedes) 
Diana blowing silver on the tree

Closing in a timeless chase 
Sea tumbles 
Over helpless grains of sand

Water rising 
The light recedes 
Diana blowing silver on the tree

Diana blowing silver on the tree 
Diana blowing silver on the tree 
Diana blowing silver on the tree...
