And an angel came unto me
And inhabited the body of my child
And for a moment she could speak to me
She was radiant and calm
Though her eyes were slightly wild
She could surely see things that we can't see
Angel of mercy
Angel of dreams
Nothing's ever quite what it seems

She said I bring to you this message
A little glimpse of passage
While you lay your head down, down to rest
And this love that you follow
It will never grow hollow
It is the one true flame to fuel your quest
Angel of mercy
Angel of dreams
Nothing's ever quite what it seems

There are no guarantees Aaah ...
That wisdom will come and find you Aaah ...
It is written on no stone that you will be so blessed Aaah ...
But I hear they are pleased somewhere Aaah ...
With your weavings of harp and drum and bell Aaah ...
And the truth we find between your pages pressed Aaah ...
To carry on for another voice to tell Aaah ... Yeah
Angel of mercy
Angel of dreams
Nothing's ever quite what it seems

Not quite what it seems Nothing's ever quite
Not quite what it seems Nothing's ever quite
Not quite what it seems Nothing's ever quite
