ok, doesn't anyone remember buffy sainte-marie? she actually wrote a bunch of mainstream songs
("until it's time for you to go", "up where we belong",
yet so many people have NEVER heard of her!!
her writing is amazing.
i have a songbook of hers ,which is 30 years old,
and has an extensive collection of her songs, yet "the angel" is not in it.
really a beatiful song, and i couldn't find the lyrics online anywhere,
and they weren't included on her "best of" cd's , either.
so i had to listen, and type, and listen, and type...
and i'm pretty sure these chords are right.
cheers.

the angel
buffy sainte marie
come now, and now my love,
and leave your dying desert to the rains
give up your treasured wounds,
let go the tempting memory of the pain.
give up the vows you've taken
and you will live, and you will learn to fly away,
and you will fly.
and you will live my love
and see the stars regain your starless night
and you will find your sun
and learn the magic meaning of it's light
all souls will be yours to cherish
rising, falling, in their earthly flight
and you will fly
and i would love my love
and he would seek a refuge in my eyes
but no resource of love,
could keep him from the fire where loving dies
and i would reach out my hand as he was
falling, falling to his home on high
and he would fly
give up your treasured wounds,
let go the tempting memory of the pain
give up the vows you've taken
and you will live, and you will learn to fly again,
and you will fly.
