Ray Weaver: Music

Took a long time to write! Had everything but the bridge for two years. The bridge finally came to me in a hostel on the Faroe Islands at about 2AM one Saturday morning. I wrote two other songs there. There were good ghosts in that room!

Angels (Holding Hands Between Us)

Verse 1
Never seen an Angel dance on the head of a needle.
Never been a single place where a miracle appeared.
Here in this room tonight are two less lonely people.
Laughing at the twist of fate that left us lying here.
And I believe that heaven can see us, untie the bonds that will free us.

Free us from mistakes we have made along the way.
Free our tongues to say the things we need to say.
In every moment we’ve been waiting for today,
Angels have been holding hands between us.

Verse 2
Parables and preachers and wine on Sunday morning.
Pouring down like water flowing out of a bone dry well.’
This piece of paradise, this heaven without warning.
Will it last or will it end, only time will tell.
Time will bring this moment into focus, in time to show all it needs to show us.

Show us if this passion will ever come again.
Show us how to walk away as lovers or as friends.
Even if tonight is the beginning and the end,
Angels will be holding hands between us.


Bridge
Dawn barely breaking,
approaching paradise so slow and carefully.
Songs as we’re waking,
Like a whispering of angels sent down to set us free.

Free us from mistakes we have made along the way.
Free our tongues to say the things we need to say.
In every moment we’ve been waiting for today,
Angels have been holding hands between us.
