Gabriel - Marc Almond/Michael Cashmore

Mine head upon thy lap love let me lie

I am wounded and without thee I shall die

Lull me and love me love till I am well

Gabriel

Turn on me sweetly till my soul have ease

Thine evening eyes

That seem to breathe forth peace

Where from the tender tears are quick to quell

Gabriel

Ah for an ever lasting afternoon

Lift not thine eyes lest sunset come too soon

With the long tolling of the vesper bell

Gabriel

The sweet slow sleepy solemn sounds that seem

Like incantations half heard in a dream

Or sad-eyed Siren singing some strange sea spell

Gabriel

Sing me to sleep while the long shadows wane

Sing to me the songs of childhood come again

With thy sweet eyes that all ill thoughts repel

Gabriel

In blessing lay thine hands upon my head

Ah would that with the sunset I were dead

Having lived for one sweet hour too sweet to tell

Gabriel

Having lived for one sweet hour too sweet to tell

Gabriel

Having lived for one sweet hour too sweet to tell

Gabriel

Living no longer than the lingering light

Seeing thy sweet eyes slowly sink from sight

While the slant shadows sound my dying knell

Gabriel

While the slant shadows sound my dying knell

Gabriel
