Homesick Angel

As pure as a kiss from the lips of god

A red rose bloomin' out a canyon rock

Through a hole in the clouds she fell one day

And left her home on high so far away

From the day she came into this world

There were tears in the eyes of that baby girl

We tried everything to heal the hurt

But she never could find peace on earth

So goodbye, farewell homesick angel

May heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyes

Oh, I wish you well homesick angel

Yeah, I just wish we'd had more time

From a hillside grave a preacher writes

Who could blame that girl for rushing back?

Who amongst once had seen that place?

Would ever wanna step foot outside those gates

So goodbye, farewell homesick angel

May heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyes

Oh, I wish you well homesick angel

Yeah, I just wish we'd had more time

God is God and I'm just a man

So I guess I'll never understand

But the fire inside that lights my faith

Is a smile I see upon her face

When I hold her again that day

So goodbye, farewell homesick angel

May heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyes

Oh, I wish you well homesick angel

Yeah, I just wish we'd had more time

Yeah, I just wish we'd had more time
