THE ANGELS AND THE ASTRONAUTS Words and Music by JAG Delaney (c) 2009 Verse 1 The Angels and the astronauts once looked down upon me When I was a baby, fast away to the World And I never could decide which one I would rather be A herald to the heavens or a man above the skies? Chorus The Angels and The Astronauts Kept God company While Creation crept into me Through my questioning mind Now maybe I don’t believe in quite as many things as I used to do But Angels and Astronauts May they always ring true…… Verse 2 There are more things in heaven, So the Sunday school teacher Said But she wasn’t one for dreaming And she never got inside my head For in there dwelt forever, The sun the moon and the stars And the angels and the astronauts Who dared to fly that far Chorus as above Bridge I will follow them I will follow them In the heavens of my heart I will love this world Like I love the girl Who sets my soul …….apart… The Angels and The Astronauts once looked down upon me
