Homesick Angel

Cadillac Sky

As pure as a kiss from the lips of god
A red rose bloomin' out a canyon rock
Through a hole in the clouds she fell one day
And 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 shores be a sight for your sore eyes
Oh, I wish you well homesick angel
Yeah, I just wish we'd had more time
From a hillside grave a preacher writes
Who could blame that girl for rushing back?
Who amongst once had seen that place?
Would ever wanna step foot outside those gates
So goodbye, farewell homesick angel
May heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyes
Oh, I wish you well homesick angel
Yeah, I just wish we'd 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 a smile I see upon her face
When I hold her again that day
So goodbye, farewell homesick angel
May heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyes
Oh, I wish you well homesick angel
Yeah, I just wish we'd had more time
Yeah, I just wish we'd had more time
