…Wings of angels, tears of saints
Prayers and promises won't bring you back
Come to me in dreams again
Wings of angels, tears…
…not keep
A place where you had gone to try
A place where you had longed to fly
A city smiling when you cried
A city sleeping when you died
Wings of angels…
…tears of saints
Prayers and promises won't bring you back
Come to me in dreams again
Wings of angels, tears…
By June Carter Cash (1999)
On album Press On (2003)

Bare me up on wings of Angels
Let me hear the choir sing
Let me see the facits of the chair of Him
Lift me up on wings of Angels…
…' to come home
Bare me up on wings of Angels
Lest I cast my foot against a stone
(Instrumental Interlude)
Well, the world keeps flyin…
…' around
And I'm almost outta sight
I keep slippin' into Hell
I can't seem to get it right
Bare me up on wings of Angels
I might make…

Bare me up on wings of Angels
Let me hear the choir sing
Let me see
The facets of the chair of Him
Lift me up on wings of Angels…

Bare me up on wings of Angels
Lest I cast my foot against a stone
Well, the world keeps flyin' around

But Jesus

…Wings of angels tears of saints
Prayers and promises won't bring you back
Come to me in dreams again
Wings of angels tears…
…you had gone to try
A place where you had longed to fly
A city smiling when you cried
A city sleeping when you died
Wings of angels…
…tears of saints
Prayers and promises won't bring you back
Come to me in dreams again
Wings of angels tears…

And you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
You raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels…
And you're sad inside
So you dream
And you raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
Said you…
…raise your eyes to the blue, blue sky
And the wings of angels go flyin' by
And we burn with a fine, pure love
And a fire
We…

…
Who clips the wings of angels bright?
We do...
We are all the only one
We are all the weak and tepid
We all strive…
…the epitaph of light?
We do...
Who lies and preaches condemnation?
We do...
Who clips the wings of angels bright?
We do...
We…
…
Who lies and preaches condemnation?
We do...
Who clips the wings of angels bright?
We do...
Who spawns…

…young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels…
…straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels…
…'cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks…

…or just walking dead now
(Are we walking dead now?)
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels?
The way we live, the way we die…
…dead now
(Are we walking dead now?)
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels?
The way we live, the way we die
What…
All your dreams go down the drain, girl
[Hook]
Are we really living, or just walking dead now
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels…

…to live
Love is on the way
On wings of angels
I know its true, I feel it coming through
Love is on the way
Time is turning the pages
I…
…can feel it right here in my heart
Love is on the way
On wings of angels
I know its true, I feel it coming through
Love…
…is on the way
Time is turning the pages
I don't know when
But love will find me again
(Oh I know, I know down deep
down in my heart I know that...)
Love is on the way
On wings of angels…

……
The sky is on fire
Burning the wings of angels
Devil is in first place
To rule earth and heaven
If there is still some good
It's…
…?
Gentlemen, are you the slaves
Of your vanity. It's so bad...
The sky is on fire
Burning the wings of angels
Devil…
…sad…
The sky is on fire
Burning the wings of angels
Devil is in first place
To rule earth and heaven
If there is still some good…

…to find
We go on
We go on
It's the first lesson learned when you're born
On the wings of angels
We ride out the storm
You…
…is the greatest reason
We go on
We go on
It's the first lesson learned when you're born
On the wings of angels
We ride out the storm
You…
…you're born
On the wings of angels
We ride out the storm
You and me
We go on…

…shame on us as we all are waiting on
Sorrow life is not tomorrow
Bow your head, beneath the wings of angels…
…that you will one day be free
Free from all they day that binds you
Bow your head, beneath the wings of angels…
…beneath the wings of angels as they come to take your hurt away
Bow your head, and all the world will take your hand and pave
A golden road for you X 2…

…silence my devotion
'Cause I believe there is still a way to reach out
In my heart there's no doubt
Love travels the miles upon the wings of angels…
…makes these tender hearts the strongest
Mine beats for you as long as
Love travels the miles upon the wings of angels
Love finds…
Lai Lai Lai
Sing it (Sing it)
Sing it (Sing it)
Sing it
Love travels the miles upon the wings of angels
Love finds you, I swear…

…now
(Are we walking dead now?)
Or dreaming of the hopes riding in the wings of angels
The way we live, the way we die
What…
…?)
Or dreaming of the hopes round in the wings of angels
The way we live, the way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Daydreamers…
Are we really living, or just walking dead now
Or dreaming of the hopes round in the wings of angels
The way we live, the way we die…

…silence my devotion
'Cause I believe there is still a way to reach out
In my heart there's no doubt
Love travels the miles upon the wings of angels…
…these tender hearts the strongest
Mine beats for you as long as
Love travels the miles
Upon the wings of angels
Love finds you…
…
Singin', singin',singin'!!
Love travels the miles upon the wings of angels
Love finds you I swear it's true, I can love you from…
