about

Anthemic rock feel. If you have spent your life as an economically challenged musician, you will know exactly what this song is about. Sometimes a rescue comes from out of nowhere when you find yourself in a tight spot, as we have more times than I’d like to say. This song expresses the miracle that that seems like when it happens.

lyrics

Angels of the Road


We are just two orphans riding at each other's side
We hold each other's hearts in hand, as through this life we ride
We've been to the Northlands
To the land of ice and snow
We've been to the Southlands
To the land of the orange groves
We have seen the tyrant
With a sword held in his hand
We've stayed with the tenant farmer
We've helped him till his land
We have stayed with the gentle folk
From a village in the south
We've been to the land of the polar bear
With the Eskimo hung out

The darkness falls
The cold wind blows
You cannot find a shelter
Any way that you could go
You hold the crystal in your hand
You feel the crystal's glow
As it makes connection in your thoughts
To the angels of the road

CHORUS:
You know they'll come
To your minstrel soul
They'll hear the song inside your mind
It will make their cup seem full
Yes you know they'll come
Give shelter from the storm
By the fire give you bread and wine
And a place where you can warm
It's only faith
Something that you know
When the world has given up on you
There's a place where you can go
They're the angels
Angels of the road

This world may be treacherous, this may only be a dream
As the world changes faces, is not the way it seemed
The dance goes ever faster
Then the drummer slows his beat
Though you try you cannot follow him
Through the fire and the heat
You stumble and you catch yourself
It was a pebble in the road
But your pack has started swinging
You've unbalanced half your load
You catch your balance once again
Then you catch the drummer's beat
Now the day has made you weary
Every path leads to defeat and

CHORUS

Repeat:
Angels of the road
They're the angels, angels of the road. END
