Afar ago an Angel fir strung a golden harp to play
with fingers gentle as she tied to serenade the day
strings of golden paradise threaded to the framing
beyond resist as ears it kissed wild animals to taming
penitent this humble self found the day to open smile
my eyes remained to darkness i lay there just a while
were did this feast to woken ear enticing me to rise
deliver from to find my soul and wakening of eyes
my guardian you play to me and eased me in my sleep
ambrosia to the starving heart resisting hard to weep
Angelic in a tender smile with flowers to adorn her hair
tried to make my words for you yet silent to your stir
i dreamed to moments gone before to the girl so far away
each night i tasted memories then lost with each new day
forty years i waited long amid regrets you didn't stay
but all you were is to my heart the happy price i pay
sudden to a silence heavens gate now lays before thee
looking deep i gently weep at the Angel now a fore me
was the love i tasted in my days to a kiss i hold you near
as i enter through the golden way i do so with no fear
those forty years my soul was lost you were taken far away
now eternally ill taste your love with each new passing day
