Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground Lyrics
Song Meaning
Verse 1
If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing and hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down
Verse 2
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Verse 3
Fly on, fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.
Verse 4
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.
