Joan Baez - Angeline Lyrics
Yesterdays newspapers forecasts no rain for todayYesterdays news was old news, the skies are all greyWinters in labor and soon will give birth to the springAnd sprinkle the meadows with flowers for my Angeline.Heartache and sorrow and sadness unendingly findWings on a memry and with them she flies to my mindShe stretched her arms for a moment, then went back to sleepWhile morning stood watching me ever so silently weak.She opened her eyes, Lord, the minute my feet touched the floorThe cold hard-wood creaked with each step that I made to the doorThen I turned to her gently and said, "Hon, just look, it is spring"Knowing outside the window, the winter looked for Angeline.But yesterdays newspaper forecast no rain for today,But yesterdays news is old news the skies are all grey.Mickey NewburyCopyright 1969 by Acuff-Rose Publications, Inc.BMI 3:37
