[v1] There's an angel flying by me As I look in the early morn His eyes are edged with love and fear In the misty shadows of dawn [v2] I look out across the sea And when I turn back he is gone I wonder how it must be Outside the misty shadows of dawn [ch] I've never seen my mother I never knew my sign I've been in the shadows The mist is in my mind [v3] I would awaken to the sound Of the angels in their flight Moving past in the darkness In the still of an unseen night [v4] Have I died and gone to heaven Has my destiny been drawn Will I ever get to see Outside the misty shadows of dawn [ch] [v4]
