In the company of Angels

 I wish for the company of angels

I wish for the company of man

I wish for the company of animals

That live upon the land


Yes I wish for the company of the sea's fish

I wish for the birds of the sky

And I wish for your company my woman

For I will love you til I die


 I wish for the company of angels

I wish for the company of man

I wish for the company of animals

That live their lives on the land


Oh give me love everlasting

Give me love at thy command

Oh give me something like blasting

The fires from the burning sand


 I wish for the company of angels

I wish for the company of man

And all the trees in the rain

They are leaving their leaves

Oh I wish for the company of them


Yes I wish for the company of lions

To lie down inside their dens

I will pull the thorn from out their paws

Like Daniel and lie down with the lambs


I wish for the company of angels

I wish for the company of man

I wish for the trees and leaves

and everything that grows in the breeze

I wish for the company of them


Oh give me your love lord everlasting

Give me it, serve it on a plate

I will earn your love, by my love lasting

If it's the last thing I do, if it's too late


Give me cheapside, give me riches

Of the pitches of the poor

I need your hope in the glasses

When the beer and liquor pours


Come keep me strong in your guidance

Keep me holding to the plough

Keep my line true in the field

Lord, and don't let me furrow your brow


 I wish for the company of angels

I wish for the company of man

I wish for the company of animals

That crawl or walk upon this land


Give me fish, give me sea,

Give me everything between

Give me love lord, 

oh give me all your plans


Give me secrets to hold

Give me nights and days of olde

Oh give me gold

Or give me nothing for a man


All I need is your love to keep me strong, Lord

All I need is your love from day til night

In the morning come and greet me in my bed, Lord

And be there when I put out my light


 I wish for the company of angels

I wish for the company of man

I wish for the company of animals

That crawl or walk upon this land
