Send an Angel Lyrics

Boxcar dreams, the open road it seems I always find a way to run

Whether it's real I don't mind as long as I can leave myself behind

Every place holds a promise of rest a good life, purpose and friends

But it's never long before the highway calls and my feet are moving again

This curse is more than I can bear

I know that you can set me free

If you send an angel down on me

It was so long ago that night when I called him to the field

I was only a boy then and you know how boys can be

To kill a man sounds so much larger and longer than the time

It takes for blood to leave a wound and to sink into the ground

This curse is more than I can bear

I know that you can set me free

If you send an angel down on me

And if if you're listening, if you got the time

I'm ready to talk about it now

Ready to lay myself down on that line

Letters from friends find me and speak of losing their vision

All the things we swore we'd always believe they now feel hopeless and barren

Yes they told us then

You are too young to know the world is hard and will break you wide

We just and danced and held our heads to the sky

This curse is more than we can bear

I know that you can set us free

If you send an angel down on me
