I heard the angels singing
A melancholy melodious song
I thought they were calling to me as they sang
So I dressed in First chair best and
grabbed my violin to play
I traveled to the highest peak
to play for the angels near
But on arriving the mountain top
the angels I could no longer hear
As I silently stood
with my bow at my side
listening to the wind
seeing the vast world before me
I realized it was not the angels who were singing or calling me to play
It was memories of my own anguish whispering in the wind
It was my own thoughts calling
To release you the only way you could understand
So I will give you a beautiful song, a beautiful song of goodbye and I will name it
after you - my beautiful, sorrowful memory
