When the angel opened the door,

[Hammond organ intro] [Hammond organ solo] [Verse] When the angel opened the door, I looked upon his face. I left my home in the world I knew And tried to remember my place. I'd been waiting for this for a long time, And I had been trying to prepare. Imagine my astonishment When I saw he had always been there. [Hammond organ solo] He was alwaaaaays theeeeeere—YEAAAAAH! [Bluesy guitar solo] [Chorus] [Guitar motif] “I've been waiting for you for a long time, I was just getting ready to go. You caught me just in the nick of time, You cut it real fine, you know.” Then I looked back over my shoulder And saw where I used to live. I said, “You don't know what a time I had To give what I had to give.” [Intense Hammond organ solo] [Verse] [Hammond organ lead] Then he spread his wings, and the world fell away, And we both gazed upon the sun. Then I knew that my journey had ended, And a new journey had begun. And time started up, and we headed for here, Me and my angel friend. Then we turned around to go back again, Back to the other end. [Hammond organ break] [Hammond organ solo] [Bridge] An angel is a teacher, Who appears to women and men. And when we fail the lesson, We must do it all over again. [Guitar solo]
