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
