Текст Janis Ian – When Angels Cry

Wait
Your tired arms must rest
Let this moment pass
Wait until the morning

When angels cry, can I stand by?
When stones weep, can my heart sleep?
Wish I’d never heard, wish I’d never heard
Wish I’d never heard
The power of a four letter word

‘Cause only love will matter in the end
For a woman or a man
What’s the difference now?
Here, we live with bottles
And needles and truth
Here is your living proof
That death cannot be proud
Some say it’s a judgment on us all
I can’t believe that God would be that small

When angels cry, can I stand by?
When stones weep, can my heart sleep?
Wish I’d never heard, wish I’d never heard
Wish I’d never heard
The power of a four letter word

If ever was a rose that longed to bloom
If ever was a heart that longed to fly

When angels cry, I can’t stand by
When stones weep, I can’t sleep
Guess I’ve finally learned
Guess I’ve finally learned
Yes, I’ve finally learned
That love is just a four letter word
Hope is just a four letter word
