Bridge Contest

I watch the anguish of this face A face hiding in blind moonlight; While duskfall hears my aching breath That groans for a tender embrace. Oh, how lonesome these cares are Upon a broken-hearted wish... Oh let me endure this, dear life To lighten my eyes with one star. Chorus: Allow angels to feel my pain They'll be the harbor in the rain They'll be the harbor, be the song Within safe wings, I do belong. And when the maddened voice goes on They'll be my harbor, be the joy To soothe all restless ebbs of tide--- To hold me right until near dawn. So I'll caress the breeze , headstrong Run ever free and meet new dreams; Without any grief, without tears Angels are the harbor... my song!
