[Verse 1] You came in slow Like stained glass dawn A quiet gold Across my palms I held my breath So you would stay And every room Learned your name [Pre-Chorus 1] And I could feel The old ache rise Then soften, then Unfold in time One little spark In your dark eyes And all my fear Began to sigh [Chorus 1] Angel, stay with me Angel, stay with me Hold this weary heart And make it sing Angel, stay with me Angel, stay with me You are the hand On my broken wing [Verse 2] Your coat was damp From evening rain Your smile was small But full of flame You touched my cheek Like you knew where The hidden bruises Used to live there [Pre-Chorus 2] And I could feel The old ache rise Then soften, then Unfold in time One little spark In your dark eyes And all my fear Began to sigh [Chorus 2] Angel, stay with me Angel, stay with me Hold this weary heart And make it sing Angel, stay with me Angel, stay with me You are the hand On my broken wing [Bridge] If the night returns With its hard gray weight I’ll call your name At the iron gate And you will come Through the hush again A soft white light In the air and rain [Final-Chorus] Angel, stay with me Angel, stay with me Hold this weary heart And make it sing Angel, stay with me Angel, stay with me You are the hand On my broken wing
