The Angels In The Garden

The angels in the garden
Are hiding in the snow
You hold them for a moment
As beautiful as long ago

Careless as a child
You live with what you know
You see the earth is frozen
But you believe that life will grow

Let go of what is lost
Let go of what has hurt you
As long as you are here with me
I promise to love you

You see what you imagine
The ghost of something good
You reach into the silence
An empty place where someone stood

I've come to stand beside you
To give you what I could
To tell you I remember
The promises of childhood

Let go of what is lost
Let go of what has hurt you
As long as you are here with me
I promise to love you

All the rivers running through you
All the canyons deep and dry
All the colors you imagined
All the feelings you denied

All the dreams you have awakened
All the ways you were asleep
All the kingdoms you've forsaken
For the kingdoms you will keep
We will keep

The angels in the garrden
Are hiding in the snow
You hold them for a moment
And finally, you let them go

Let go of what is lost
Let go of what has hurt you
As long as you are here with me
I promise to love you
