and all the rest
oh, a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
high above you can hear the church bells start to ring
and as the heaviness, oh the heaviness
the body settles in
somewhere you can hear a mother sing
then it's one foot then the other
as you step out onto the road, step out on the road
how much weight? how much?
then it's how long? and how far?
and how many times, oh, 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 tryin' and we're hopin' but we're not sure how...
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
ah, but if you could...do you think you would
trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
ah, but then you'd miss
the beauty of the light upon this earth
and the, the sweetness of the leaving
calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels
calling all angels
we're tryin' and we're hopin'
but we're not sure how...
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
