Several Angels

There were several angels watching you
Through the sunset, through the blue
It was plain as day, there was no mistake
There were several angels in your wake
There were several angels as you went past
There was fire and steel and trumpet blast
There was magic carrying you along
A single rose and a river’s song
And that was you
And you were fleeting
The rest was space
And wings still beating
Like there was no place you could take the call from
Like grace was somewhere you could fall from
There are several angels still around
Looking to the sky, looking to the ground
You can’t tell an angel some of that stuff
But several should have been enough
