Title: Angel Fire
Artist: Fernando Ortega
Album: This Bright Hour
/
I never knew the dusk could seem so sad,
an empty aching in my soul.
/
In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind,
the shining world outlasts us all.
/
Even the mountains seem to know you're gone,
the foothills shimmer where they stand.
/
The sky is still and much too beautiful,
and I am missing you again.
Lift me over the San Gabriels,
leaning into the southern sky.
/
The foothills burning in the afterglow,
an angel fire passing by.
/
I think of songs I might have sung to you,
the love I wanted you to hear.
/
Everytime the blazing sun goes down,
another promise disappears.
/
I never knew the dusk could break my heart,
so much longing folding in,
/
I'd give years away to have you here,
you know I can't lose you again.
Lift me over the San Gabriels,
leaning into the southern sky.
/
A flight of angels must be in the wind,
I know they'll pass this way tonight.
Help me remember the San Gabriels,
the foothills burning in the light.
Let my heart rise up to where you are,
I long to be with you tonight.
I long to be with you tonight,
I long to be with you tonight
