my lyricsbox
She was the only one
of my flesh and blood
now I have no calling
I can do no wordly good

I sit silent
I sit all mourning
I sit listless all the day
I've mostly lost the voice to speak
and any words to say except
does heaven have enough angels yet?

I've gone hard
and I've gone cold
I can't make the pieces of this cracked life fit
please forgive me for wanting to know
does heaven have enough angels yet?

Together oh together
no there'll be no more of that
but I would not dare for myself to ask
does heaven have enough angels yet?

She was the only one
of my own flesh and blood
sometimes I hear her calling
straight from the house of god
This song is from the album "Telling Stories" and "Telling Stories [Tour Edition]".
