THE ANGELS SAID NO 121311 - GRASSHOPPER ROAD

THE ANGELS SAID NO

He lived high up on the mountain top
He lived there with his love
He tumbled to the valley deep
When she gave him a shove

And, when he hit the valley deep
It must have broke his heart
The distance in his lover’s eyes
Told him that soon they’d part

So, he yoked up his oxen
His hand upon the plow
He’d dig his grave both deep and wide
For he would need it now
For he would need it now

The angels cried, “No!”

The angels said, “No!”

He jumped into the river
And washed his body clean
His heart was just a shiver
In a body strong and lean

He wrestled with the water
Intent to stop it’s flow
He wondered where his love had gone
But he will never know
And now he’ll never know

The angels cried, “No!”
