I've been around long enough to know That a good man's word ain't as good as gold, No matter what he says; But there are exceptions. I'm not one. Well I've been waiting for while on a comeback line, Avoiding the sting of a bottle of rye. Come on, Whatd'ya say? Let's put the blues away. Cause when your out of heart, You need some hope to start To learn to love again. You need someone to step out on faith, No matter what you've done; To be given a chance To live at last. The wide, wild sky will be open to possiblity When the time is right, And you let it be. You've got trust To be trusted again. You can't grip your heartache tight Like a pillow in the night, If you want to feel the sun. This is the age of forgiveness, And to be a fool, To take a chance, And for love, too. This is is the age of angels. You can see them comimg From out of the sky To chase the loneliness Back into the shadows. This is the age of internal light, Not to play it cool, To take some risks With your heart, too. I've been around a block or a few, And I've learned of little things that a man can do To get out of himself. Some maybe perfect, But I'm not one. I've been thinking bout getting on time, Getting in step with the pretty eyes, Come on, Whatd'ya say, And you can have your way. I surrender to you tonight, I give myself to your loving light. I'm yours to love again. I need you to take a leap of faith No matter what we've gone. Let's give ourselves a chance To live at last. The wide, wild sky will be open to possiblity When the time is right, And you let us be. You've got trust To be trusted again. You can't grip your heartache tight Like a pillow in the night, If you want to feel the sun. This is the age of forgiveness, And to be a fool, To take a chance, And for love, too. This is is the age of angels. You can see them comimg From out of the sky To chase the loneliness Back into the shadows. This is the age of internal light, Not to play it cool, To take some risks With your heart, too. Can't you see the future now? I can. I can see the meadow beyond this fence That I built on mistakes, And we went wrong ever since. But that was then, And this is now. Love is how. The wide, wild sky will be open to possiblity When the time is right, And you let love be. You've got trust To be trusted again. You can't grip your heartache tight Like your pillow in the night, If you want to feel the sun. This is the age of forgiveness, And to be a fool, To take a chance, And for love, too. This is is the age of angels. You can see them comimg From out of the sky To chase the loneliness Back into the shadows. This is the age of internal light, Not to play it cool, To take some risks With your heart, too.

Age of Angels
I've been around long enough to know That a good man's word ain't as good as gold, No matter what he says; But there are exceptions. I'm not one.

You can't grip your heartache tight Like a pillow in the night, If you want to feel the sun. This is the age of forgiveness, And to be a fool, To take a chance, And for love, too. This is is the age of angels. You can see them comimg From out of the sky To chase the loneliness Back into the shadows. This is the age of internal light, Not to play it cool, To take some risks With your heart, too.

Writen in two sessions last night and this morning, this was meant to be a country song, but the construct is so liberal it could accomodate any musical facility.
