Woke up lying in her garden bed

The sun came up behind her head

I touched her hair,

then brushed it back

Oh, angels must smile like that

She's a picture of the world

to come,

a beautiful and Holy one

I rest my head against her lap

Ah, angels must smile like that

Was she flesh and blood

breathing in

the juniper and the jasmine?

When the night fell

was that stardust in her eyes

and moonlight glistening

on her skin?

(Skin like porcelain)

Love and mercy graced the prayer

she'd said

that pulled me from the riverbed

Body heat flowed,

brought me back

Oh, angels must smile like that

Angels must smile like that

Angels must smile like that
