Angeles Lyrics
[Intro]
Angeles
[Verse 1]
Angels, answer me
Are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believe
You will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure words will never do
Surely, if this is
Promises are mine to give you
Mine to give
[Chorus 1]
Here, all too soon the day!
Wish the moon to fall and alter out tomorrow
I should know
Heaven has her way
Each one given memories to own
[Verse 2]
Angeles, all could be
Should you move both earth and sea
Angeles, I could feel
All those dark clouds disappearing
Angeles
[Verse 1]
Angels, answer me
Are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believe
You will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure words will never do
Surely, if this is
Promises are mine to give you
Mine to give
[Chorus 1]
Here, all too soon the day!
Wish the moon to fall and alter out tomorrow
I should know
Heaven has her way
Each one given memories to own
[Verse 2]
Angeles, all could be
Should you move both earth and sea
Angeles, I could feel
All those dark clouds disappearing
[Interlude]
[Chorus 2]
Even as I breathe
Comes an angel to their keep
Surely, if this is
Promises are mine to give you
Mine to give
[Outro]
Angeles
Angeles
[Chorus 2]
Even as I breathe
Comes an angel to their keep
Surely, if this is
Promises are mine to give you
Mine to give
[Outro]
Angeles

What did Enya say about "Angeles"?
Genius Answer
Lyricist Roma Ryan said in the album’s liner notes:
At times we ask for extraordinary things to happen in our lives and somehow, deep down, we believe that they will. Someone, somewhere, may have the power to help us – a Guardian Angel perhaps, some spiritual minder, a protector from life’s darker moments.
Such a belief can be a comfort in life, an easy relationship with a world beyond our own. A gentle hand on your shoulder to guide you through, though not away from, the harder times.
