Gabriel is Dancing

 

I go down where the pilgrim goes
it's so hard to follow
where every road I've never chosen comes to pass me by
while far away the prophet kneels
and somewhere on the happy fields
a thousand soldiers plant their shields on beds where lovers lie

but this is not my angry place
these walls are hardly broken
feel my burden now, it feels so light
and Gabriel is dancing
Gabriel is dancing
Gabriel is dancing down here tonight


lord, I play these anthems loud
it's so hard to listen
cool my aching brow, my love, I pray
while somewhere on the happy lands
another dollar changes hands
and far away the prophet stands to hide it all away

but this is not my angry face
these bones are hardly broken
feel the light I feel, I cannot see
and Gabriel is dancing
lord, I feel that steel wind rising
Gabriel is dancing
dancing for me



no this is not my angry face
these words are hardly spoken
feel the light I feel
it runs so deep
and Gabriel is dancing
Gabriel is dancing
Gabriel is dancing a fiery soul to sleep
