Angels and Doves

from Odds And Ends by Zephaniah Stringfield

/

lyrics

We tried time after time
Breaking dish after dish
Drinking grails full of wine
Making mess after mess
Of the wishes we Wasters of Wagers made for our love
Somewhere angels of daydreams are crying O’er the life of a dove

We told lie upon lie
Striking brick against brick
We laid the tales taller
And built the walls thick
In the mansions we Masons of Mistrust made for our love
Somewhere angels of mischief are playing with the life of a dove

We counted card after card
Playing trick after trick
Stealing heart heart after heart
Burning stick after stick
In the fires we Martyrs for Madness made for our love
Somewhere angels of mercy are praying for the life of a dove

We met trial after trial
Tipping scale over scale
Speaking like witches
Banging nail after nail
In the coffins we Miners of Mishap made for our love
Somewhere angels of justice are marching for the life of a dove
