Rest now angel, the night is gone
Blue skies follow in the coming hours
Slate grey now is the sky in first light
But radiant red it was when we met
The rains have passed and winds have calmed
Sand at our feet is cooled
While the stars burn out in coming light
Rest your head now angel
Your day is long and empty
Lay your head here and I will stay
Under this tree with leaves all about
My time is infinite, but patience short
Take me while you've got me
Because angel, I won't wait long
When you wake I'll be gone
Down the shore, out of sight
And you will move on, angel
For now, I'm here for you
But give me just one chance angel
Our meeting will be perfect.
