Halo

Don't cry - I think there's a hole in the sky
A halo upon you to carry you homeward, to reach out and bless you, and light you forever
And I stared at the sight for awhile

Lately I sit with a light in my window, and lately it seems that there's not too much hope here
And I want to go where the riches are flowing
I'll hide in that place where the streets, they are golden
Can I just close my eyes for awhile?

And, darling, I'd like to dance in your arms
I'd love to sing with the stars that reflect the light that you are
Darling, I'd like to sing in your ear
I'm fighting to hold back the tears, 'cause gravity's keeping me here
My heart, blurred and smeared

I saw they were crashing that day in September
Hungry and broken, and torn at the shoulder, and aching like Judas betraying his lover
The flashing, the sighing - we cried in September
And I switched off the lights for a while

And you flew into the light with the dawn
And, holding us, you gave us songs, and prayers filled your hall in the sky

And, darling, I'd like to dance in your arms
I'd love to sing with the stars that reflect the light that you are
Baby, I'd love to sing in your ear
I'm fighting to hold back the tears, 'cause gravity's keeping me here
Darling, I'd like to dance in your arms
I'd love to sing with the stars that reflect the light that you are,
All that you are
