Visions Of Angels Lyrics
looking at the trees but there's not even one
See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by
run to feel its comfort but the water's dry.
Whey she's never there I don't understand
The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down
dance in the sky
Leaving me here
forever goodbye.
for the fragile beauty of our lives must fade
Though I once remember echoes of my youth
now I sense no past, no love that ends in love
As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees
In vengeance to a god no-one can reach.
dance in the sky
Leaving me here
forever goodbye.
see the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze
Minds are empty bodies move insensitive
some believe that when they die they really live
God gave up this world its people long ago
Why she's never there I still don't understand
dance in the sky
Leaving me here
forever goodbye.
dance in the sky
Leaving me here
forever goodbye.
Anthony Phillips wrote the song. I've seen sources that said he had feelings for Pete's then girlfriend and later wife Jill Moore, but the song was actually written during the making of "From Genesis To Revelation" when Ant was still with his old girlfriend Lucy Burge, who he now claims was very much into Pete and sort of took him on as a second best. Yet Mike said in his book that when Ant and Lucy split, he'd never seen anyone take a breakup so badly. It's a bit like "Layla" in a way.
Lyrics were written Anthony Phillips. Apparently, and this is just a rumour though seems quite possible. Phillips was bessoted with Gabriel's wife and had a problem dealing with it because of the band situation. Hence..."Visions of angles all around dance in the sky leaving me here forever goodbye"
The song recognizes some female, apparently God, is not with us, and has given up on the world. Also, that all pleasures of the world have been lost "water's dry", "no past, no love".
It is as if this song was about the apocalypse or hell. That is because everything in this song is from a dream, but not joy can be received.
timbo.h's version would be awesome for some reason. i don't know why :D
Maybe it's about dying, and you see visions of angels. Beautiful lyrics.
