There once was a very old man
Who had enormous wings
They say he saw the world
Through the eyes of a blue dog
There once was a man
Who had enormous wings
It was sad
The rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there
His dreams are forever
Entangled in the mud
He's an angel
Tangled in the mud
Every soul you meet
May be a stranger
He's an angel
He must be coming for the children
It was sad
The rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there
And though he'd like to sleep
The stars fall to the earth in heaps
And he's got tears in his eyes
'Cause the town is filled with so many spies
They all avert their eyes
