It was fine, but it just fell apart.
It was mine, but now I give it to you,
Cause you can fix it, you know what to do.
Let your love cover me,
Like a pair of angel wings,
You are my family,
You are my family.
We stood outside in the summer rain,
Different people with a common pain.
A simple box in that hard red clay,
Where we left him to always remain.
Let your love cover me,
Like a pair of angel wings,
You are my family,
You are my family.
The child who played with the moon and stars,
Waves a snatch of hay in a common barn,
In the lonely house of adam's fall
Lies a child, it's just a child that's all, crying
Let your love cover me,
Like a pair of angel wings,
You are my family,
You are my family.
Can you fix this? It's a broken heart. It was fine, but it just fell apart. It was mine, but now I give it to you, Cause you can fix it, you know what to do. Let your love cover me, Like a pair of angel wings, You are my family, You are my family. We stood outside in the summer rain, Different people with a common pain. A simple box in that hard red clay, Where we left him to always remain. Let your love cover me, Like a pair of angel wings, You are my family, You are my family. The child who played with the moon and stars, Waves a snatch of hay in a common barn, In the lonely house of adam's fall Lies a child, it's just a child that's all, crying Let your love cover me, Like a pair of angel wings, You are my family, You are my family.
