The Angel By The Sea
Sleepy Welsh town on the coast's
Windy headland her lonely outpost
For miles around she can be seen
Standing guard over aquamarine
Majestic figure on column of stone
Watching the sea but not alone
Holding aloft her laurel ring
Below her bronze humanity clings
Let me take you there
To the angel by the sea
Winged victory over us
Salt blowing in our hair
Up her steps we climb
Names of the dead around us
Sacrifices of the past
Gifting us this time
Norman castle's ruined walls
Landmark from our college halls
Generations choosing to meet
On the plinth under her feet
Looking out over the bay
To distant shipping on its way
Pods of dolphins pass her by
Here for a century, dignified
Let me take you there
To the angel by the sea
Winged victory overhead
Salt blowing in our hair
Up her steps we climb
Names of the dead around us
Sacrifices of the past
Gifting us this time
The weather up here can be tough
But we'll never get enough
Of her sculpted beauty on bleak days
A memory that will always stay
So thanks to you, Mario R
Your art lives on by the sandbar
Forever part of this small town
A place to go when feeling down
Let me take you there
To the angel by the sea
Winged victory over us
Salt blowing in our hair
Up her steps we climb
Names of the dead around us
Sacrifices of the past
Gifting us this time
The angel by the sea
The angel by the sea
The angel by the sea
Windy headland her lonely outpost
For miles around she can be seen
Standing guard over aquamarine
Majestic figure on column of stone
Watching the sea but not alone
Holding aloft her laurel ring
Below her bronze humanity clings
Let me take you there
To the angel by the sea
Winged victory over us
Salt blowing in our hair
Up her steps we climb
Names of the dead around us
Sacrifices of the past
Gifting us this time
Norman castle's ruined walls
Landmark from our college halls
Generations choosing to meet
On the plinth under her feet
Looking out over the bay
To distant shipping on its way
Pods of dolphins pass her by
Here for a century, dignified
Let me take you there
To the angel by the sea
Winged victory overhead
Salt blowing in our hair
Up her steps we climb
Names of the dead around us
Sacrifices of the past
Gifting us this time
The weather up here can be tough
But we'll never get enough
Of her sculpted beauty on bleak days
A memory that will always stay
So thanks to you, Mario R
Your art lives on by the sandbar
Forever part of this small town
A place to go when feeling down
Let me take you there
To the angel by the sea
Winged victory over us
Salt blowing in our hair
Up her steps we climb
Names of the dead around us
Sacrifices of the past
Gifting us this time
The angel by the sea
The angel by the sea
The angel by the sea
