• The child I lost within
    Flew off on butterfly wings
    In search of an angel

    In the silence of the night
    Wrapped in lullabies
    Wings tinged with red

    She simply slipped away 
    I searched for day and days
    To find my angel, to show me the way

    Shower me with sweet grace
    Give me your strength today 
    Carry me up on the wings of faith

    The deeper the love
    The sharper the flesh aches
    The deeper the love 
    The longer the shadow plays
    Like wild horses running across the plains
    Dusty winds burn my eyes again

    The deeper the love the 
    The sharper the flesh aches
    The deeper the love 
    The higher we set the stakes 
    Heaven is pouring its strongest rains
    To wash the pain away

    The lost stars of the night, 
    Gathered round for her last flight
    My heart left for the moon

    I whispered out her name
    My heartbeat fluttered again
    One beat too soon

    She simply slipped away 
    I searched for day and days
    To find my angel

    Shower me with sweet grace
    Give me the strength today
    Carry me on wings of faith

    Shower me with sweet grace
    Give me the strength today
    Carry me on wings of faith

    The deeper the love
    The sharper the flesh aches
    The deeper the love 
    The longer the shadow plays
    Like wild horses running ‘cross the plains
    Dusty winds they burn my eyes again

    The deeper the love the 
    The sharper the flesh aches
    The deeper the love 
    The higher we set the stakes 
    Heaven is pouring its strongest rains
    To wash the pain away


    Searching for an angel 
    The moon spinning towards an eclipse 
    Searching for an angel 
    Barren landscapes warp a rare sacred glimpse 

    Searching for an angel
    So fragile the wings 
    So fragile, so fragile all these things

    Searching for an angel 
    Bellied fears and water colored dreams
    Searching for an angel 
    Earthly desires and hushed baby´s screams
    I lye cocooned wrapped in gossamer wings,
    Fragile, so fragile all these things
