Angel In A Tree Lyrics

I saw an angel in the water

and he grew

and he grew.

He washed his hands before the slaughter

and he knew

and he knew.



But oh, the fun he had

in the water

in the water.

And oh, the time he had

at the slaughter

at the slaughter.



I saw an angel in the fire

and he grew

and he grew.

He sang a song like a choir

and he knew

and he knew.



But oh, the way he sang

like a choir

like a choir.

And oh, the song he sang

from the fire

in the fire.



I saw an angel in a tree

and all around were jackals.

He pointed to a key

that would unlock his shackles.



But oh, the things he sang

from the tree

from the tree.

And oh, the things he asked

of the jackals and me.
