Dare of an Angel Full Lyrics
Why did we take the rough road
When the trolley rode easily by?
And why did we climb the high hill
When the valley lay safe at our side?
Oh, who sent us out in the twilight
To come back with a basket of words
Just to fashion some future quotation
That this desperate world so deserves?
Perhaps it was just something foolish
Or the dare of an angel at best
Just to chance the ghost of a poet
Whose sad songs will never rest
Why did we drink the cold rain
With the soup so warm on the stove?
And why did we wind up alone here
Singing melodies of love?
We did it simply to do it
We did it to be tender yet tough
We did it for the beauty in the music
Isn't that explanation enough?
Perhaps it was just something foolish
Or the dare of an angel at best
To chance the ghost of a poet
Whose own songs will never rest
Perhaps it was just something foolish
Or the dare of an angel at best
How to dance with the ghost of a poet
Whose own songs will never rest
