The angels came down and danced with us
we offered food and wine
they did not eat
they did not drink
The angels came down and heard us talk
of all our troubles and woes
we talked of great and small
they did not speak
The angels came down and looked at us
with pity in their eyes
their faces showing their distance
they did not weep
The angels did not come down again
even in our darkest times
but while we still remember
they will not die
