Lyrics
Come Angels On Wings Above Water Jim Dannemiller Houston, TX December 14, 2010 Could this get any worse There's water on the stairs The roof looks like our last resort Until someone comes To take us out of here Until someone surely comes To take us out of here I saw Evangeline drown In front of her baby's eyes she died That child's been alone in that house I've listened for days But I can no longer hear his cries I can no longer hear his cries {chorus Come angels on wings above water Our house is that island on the right But before you rescue me Please check that house next door If that child's still alive He's gonna need a mother's arms tonight At night when the air is still I think I hear the boats But morning brings another sun Another day of hoping against hope That people's lovingkindness Will somehow keep us all afloat Will somehow keep us all afloat {bridge} The streets of New Orleans are rivers The houses are so many islands In a sea of pain and misery The houses are so many islands In a sea of pain and misery {chorus}
