The Angels Came Down

Walking all alone in the Southern rain By graveyards and battlefields that blood still stains Back to a time when the angels came Walking all alone in the Southern rain In the forests and the fields so many men were killed I can hear their cries still echo through these hills That was a time when the angels came Walking all alone in the Southern rain And the angels came down to the fallen men And they held their hands as they prayed for them They carried their souls beyond the moon and the sun All the way to heaven one by one The angels worked so hard for so many years To heaven and back again they shed so many tears They left no one and they placed no blame Walking all alone in the Southern rain And the angels came down to the fallen men And they held their hands as they prayed for them They carried their souls beyond the moon and the sun All the way to heaven one by one Walking all alone in the Southern rain Never heal them troubles never heal that pain But that was a time when the angels came Walking all alone in the Southern rain
