Fernando Ortega Angel Fire lyrics

I never knew the dusk could seem so sad
An empty aching in my soul
In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind
The shining world outlasts us all

Even the mountains seem to know you're gone
The foothills shimmer where they stand
The sky is still and much too beautiful
And I am missing you again

Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky
The foothills burning in the afterglow, an angel fire passing by

I think of songs I might have sung to you
The love I wanted you to hear
Everytime the blazing sun goes down
Another promise disappears


I never knew the dusk could break my heart
So much longing folding in
I'd give years away to have you here
To know I can't lose you again

Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky
A flight of angels must be in the wind
I know they'll pass this way tonight

Help me remember the San Gabriels, the foothills burning in the light
Let my heart rise up to where you are, I long to be with you tonight
I long to be with you tonight, I long to be with you tonight
