Balthrop, Alabama - Angel lyrics

You was an angel on the day that I was born Standing over my cradle singing some sad song for me Still too young to see Oh but I can still remember the sad, sweet sound Of the vowels and the consonants coming out of your mouth As you stood above me I was filled with a calm Took my tiny hand in your palm Where you stay there with me 'til you had to go away And the candle flickered in the corner of the room Casting a shadow or two
