From the recordings War Stories and You're an Angel
You're an Angel is based on a Dutch housewife named Kate ter Horst, who set up an aid station in her family's home to assist Allied Soldiers, injured and dying from fighting in the Battle Of Arnhem.
Lyrics
You're an Angel
You watch us falling from the sky
Walking through your garden, climbing up the roof to find out why
I will not ever pretend for the sorrows to end
When shells drop down upon the church
You help give us courage, I know God will never leave his perch
Soldiers hold firm at their post to hear the Holy Ghost
We know that you're an Angel
You can't disguise (No compromise)
I see the heavens in your eyes
As I lay dying in a bed
You stand there beside me, calming all the fears inside my head
I find my way to release and reach the greatest peace
We know that you're an Angel
You can't disguise (No compromise)
I see the heavens in your eyes
I watch you leave your house behind
Now the battle's over, people forced to move are in a bind
Families on streets pushing carts as their home's torn apart
We know that you're an Angel
You can't disguise (No compromise)
I see the heavens in your eyes
