[Verse 1] She’s been kneeling in rain For a hundred years Cypress roots wrap close And the dirt won’t hear They come for the wings For the moss on stone But I see the crack Where the hurt grew old [Pre-Chorus] Who laid her down here Who took her name Why does she hold that ache Like a candle flame [Chorus] Weeping little Angel Don’t turn away Weeping little Angel Tell me who made you stay Weeping little Angel In the cypress gray Weeping little Angel I’ll kneel where you lay [Verse 2] Moon on her shoulder Mud on her feet Spanish moss hanging Like a funeral sheet Tour bus passes Folks snap and grin Never ask the reason She won’t rise again [Pre-Chorus] Who heard her pray Who left her there Why does the night keep Learning her stare [Chorus] Weeping little Angel Don’t turn away Weeping little Angel Tell me who made you stay Weeping little Angel In the cypress gray Weeping little Angel I’ll kneel where you lay [Bridge] I found her secret Buried in bark One love gone missing One thunder-mark A child in the road A flood in June She took the blow And the sky went mute [Chorus] Weeping little Angel Don’t turn away Weeping little Angel Tell me who made you stay Weeping little Angel In the cypress gray Weeping little Angel I’ll kneel where you lay
