Pure as a kiss from the lips of God A red rose bloomin out a canyon rock Through a hole in the cloud she fell one day Left her home on high so far away From the day she came into this world There were tears in the eyes of that baby girl We tried everything to heal the hurt But she never could find peace on earth So goodbye, farewell homesick angel May Heaven's shores be a sight for your sore eyes Oh I wish you well homesick angel I just wish we'd had more time From a hillside grave a preacher asked Who could blame that girl for rushing back Who among us once they'd seen that place Would ever want to set a foot outside those gates So goodbye, farewell homesick angel May Heaven's shores be a sight for your sore eyes Oh I wish you well homesick angel I just wish we had more time God is God and I'm just a man So I guess I'll never understand But the fire inside that lights my faith Is the smile I'll see upon her face When I hold her again that day.... So goodbye, farewell homesick angel May Heaven's shores be a sight for your sore eyes Oh I wish you well homesick angel Yeah I just wish we had more time Yeah I just wish we'd had more time |
