Angel of Sorrow - John Campbell
When that angel of sorrow steps up to my bedside
And pulls the ribbon of darkness slowly 'cross my eyes
Give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye
As that last clap of thunder grows faint and starts to die
And those six black stallions come silent in the night
Give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye
Dear Lord above
I know you hear me up there
I know it's late in life for my very first prayer
I ain't here to ask for mercy for my own tormented soul
Heaven or hell Lord I'm set to go just
Give me one last breath
To tell my baby goodbye
I kneel down Lord
But I won't hang my head in shame
Right and wrong in St Peters book my scores about the same
I ain't here to ask for penance
I won't change my ways
I'll take my chances come judgment day just
Give me one last breath
To tell my baby goodbye
When I reach that misty river and times no longer on my side
I'll set one foot on board and that oar man's set to ride
Give me One last breath One last breath
To tell my baby goodbye
