Lyrics

0:12She was the only one
0:16Of my flesh and blood
0:19Now I have no calling
0:22I can do no worldly good
0:43I sit silent
0:44I sit mourning
0:46I sit listless all the day
0:49I've mostly lost the voice to speak
0:52And any words to say except
0:56Does heaven have enough angels yet
1:22I've gone hard
1:23And I've gone cold
1:25I can't make the piece of this cracked life fit
1:28Please forgive me for wanting to know
1:32Does heaven have enough angels yet
1:59Together rough together no the bing no more the
2:04I've nather myseft therce have have no erjuece
2:34She was the only one
2:38Of my own flesh and blood
2:40Sometimes I hear her calling
2:43Straight from the house of god
She was the only one
Of my flesh and blood
Now I have no calling
I can do no worldly good
I sit silent
I sit mourning
I sit listless all the day
I've mostly lost the voice to speak
And any words to say except
Does heaven have enough angels yet
I've gone hard
And I've gone cold
I can't make the piece of this cracked life fit
Please forgive me for wanting to know
Does heaven have enough angels yet
Together rough together no the bing no more the
I've  nather myseft therce   have  have no erjuece
She was the only one
Of my own flesh and blood
Sometimes I hear her calling
Straight from the house of god
