Jane Siberry - Calling All Angels (featuring K.D. Lang) lyrics

rate me

Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah

Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Dominica, Mary Angelica

Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronella

Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir

and all the rest

a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries

and high above the church bells start to ring

and as the heaviness the body

oh the heaviness settles in

somewhere you can hear a mother sing

then it's one foot then the other

as you step out onto the road

how much weight? how much weight?

then it's how long? and how far?

and how many times before it's too late?

calling all angels

calling all angels

walk me through this one

don't leave me alone

calling all angels

calling all angels

we're cryin' and we're hurtin'

and we're not sure why...

and every day you gaze upon the sunset

with such love and intensity

why it's...it's almost as if

if you could only crack the code

then you'd finally understand what this all means

but if you could...do you think you would

trade it in

all the pain and suffering?

ah, but then you'd miss

the beauty of the light upon this earth

and the sweetness of the leaving

calling all angels

calling all angels

walk me through this one

don't leave me alone

callin' all angels

callin' all angels

we're tryin'

we're hopin'

we're hurtin'

we're lovin'

we're cryin'

we're callin'

'cause we're not sure how this goes
