Brand New Angel Lyrics

It rained last night
And the stars so bright
And we all found it
We heard the whipper hell

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e103937-greg_brown~brand_new_angel_lyrics.html ]
That's the first light of the dawn
We heard that he was gone
Our hearts was empty
And our eyes was filled

Oh pearly gates
Welcome him in
There's a brand new angel
There's a brand new angel
With an old violin

He played out his time on earth
He was blind from his birth
Whom was the light soon
From within his eyes

There comes a time to move
So rising up the board
We'll sing him a tune
To travel by

Oh pearly gates
Welcome him in
There's a brand new angel
There's a brand new angel
With an old violin
