Lyrics

Fallen Angel
Robbie Robertson

I don't believe it's all for nothing
It's not just written in the sand
Sometimes I thought you felt too much
You crossed into the shadowland

And the river was overflowing
And the sky was fiery red
You gotta play the hand that's dealt you
That's what the old man always said

Fallen angel casts a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes could see the spirit of the chosen one

In my dream the pipes were playing
In my dream I lost a friend
Come down Gabriel blow your horn
Someday we will meet again

Fallen angel casts a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes could see the spirit of the chosen one

All the tears, all the rage
All the blues in the night
If my eyes could see
You kneeling in the silver light

If you’re out there… can you hear me?
Can you see me?
I don’t know
If you’re out there… can you reach me?
Lay a flower in the snow
