Long Journey's the Angel

by robert edward levin - Aries


Long sleep's the white dove
Under crescent moon
The midnight pearl

Long rides at daybreak
The chestnut mare
A Cherokee girl

Long flow's the river
Ageless drifter
Of time and space

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace

Long stand's the mountain
Imposing guard 
Stalwart king

Long grows' the bounty
Fruited plains
Eternal spring 

Long shine's the starlight
Eyes of night
Mystical face

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace

Long stretches' the highway
Patches of glory
Trails of sin

Long craves' the restless 
Utopian need
Beggar-man's skin

Long fall's the mighty
Wayward bound
Homeless disgrace 

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace 

Long cry's the heartache
Sullen eyes
Wounded soul

Long keep's the memories
Seeds of life
Life made whole

Long walk's the hero
Solitary man
Solitary pace 

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace 

Long chill's the winter
Barren touch
Frigid glare

Long bloom's the flower
Rainbow skies
Sunny stare

Long drift's the shadows
Seasons of change
Leather to lace

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace

Long play's the music
Liberty bell
Silent night

Long spin's the dancer
Ballerina child
Essence of light 

Long bleeds' the lonely
Crowded life
Empty embrace

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace

Long sleep's the buried soldier
Flowers of wood
Gardens of stone

Long searches' the fatherless child
Castles of sand
Marrow-less bone
 
Long dream's the unborn baby
Broken promise
Hollowed face

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace

Long hide's the dark side
Easy smile
Raging twin

Long lives' the madness
Hated neighbor
The color of skin

Long thunder's the heavens  
Darkness, darkness
Endless space 

Long journey's the angel
Oh crimson god
Amazing grace
