Only One Angel that I’d Found

In a dream you came to me out of the mist

I reached out for your tiny wrist

Was it only there in the ether that we could exist?

Standing there on Whisper Bridge,

You were like a morning dove on a limb

In the twilight distinct but dim

The silhouette of your figure so slim

Standing there on Whisper Bridge,

I called out but couldn’t make a sound

Though I sensed angels were all around

But there was only one angle that I’d found

Standing there on Whisper Bridge,

Life can be joyful or cruel

The Lord may at times forgive a fool

You made my heart into a stubborn mule

Standing there on Whisper Bridge,

The stars had faded from the night

But the sun had not yet come into sight

There you were at dawn’s early light

Standing these on Whisper Bridge,

There was only the atmosphere between you and I

I wanted you I could not lie

From the goddess of love only a sigh

Standing there on Whisper Bridge,

While comets trailed through space

I wanted only you in perfumed lace

I’m only a man could that be such a disgrace?

Standing here on Whisper Bridge.
