Love Makes a Man Do Crazy Things
An angel falls in rain, on slippery rock
Wings matted down by the on pour
A battle to the highest peak, nature the only competitor
A gray gown, clinging to pale skin
Edged ruthlessly by dirt, muddy stains on white
Unforgiving thunder rolls off the mountain
"I'm sorry lord"
Whispers on the wind call quietly
Through the dark, brooding clouds, white light drifts
Sliding silently in and out of vision, like a sacred dance
She almost looses her footing as thunder shakes the rock
Rubble starts to fall and she covers her head
Giant wings come down, and cover the angel
White light surrounding her in an orb
"It's all right"
The angel whispers in her ear
"I'm here"
His arms wrap around her, shielding her from the rain
The sky doesn't clear, but he'll play the game
Darting past the lighting he carries her in his arms
through the gates of heaven, past all its guards
he knelt before his father, and begged and prayed
"Dear Heavenly Father, please let her stay..."
With tears in both their eyes, he cradled her in his arms
she clung to him, her head on his shoulder
the lord looked at them compassion in his eyes
"Go my son, take her and fly"
He looked up at God, love in his eyes
Gathered her in his arms, and away they did fly
