The Angels Came Down

The Angels Came Down - Kevin Costner/Modern West

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

Southern rain
