One More Angel (for Ashley Cowie)
Loading...
Uploaded by tylerdenning on Jan 9, 2011
At around 1:00 this morning, January 9th, Ashley Cowie went home to be with God after a tragic accident near Florida State University. I had met Ashley only a couple of times, and knew only that she was a charming girl, but when I heard the news today, it was a huge weight on me all day long. I found myself crying intensely at the injustice and tragedy of the situation, and I spent the whole day writing this song. The world certainly has its ways to quiet us down...
Story of a girl I barely knew
The morning the world grew cold as the January dew
Tears from my eyes, I can't tell you why
Maybe it's just time I felt something again.
A beautiful girl in a godforsaken world
How the hell are we supposed to cope
When everyone we know will go away, someday.
Oh God embrace this pretty girl
Take her away from all the pain that the rest of us must endure.
And as you hold her in your arms
I know that the night sky's not as dark
With one more angel in the stars
Story of a girl I hardly knew
Reminding us all of the fragility of youth.
Flowers are sent, but for a mother's lament
A cure cannot be found,
And this world keeps spinning around like it don't care
Like it is unaware.
The world has its ways
to quiet us down...
