As pure as a kiss from the lips of godA red rose bloomin out a canyon rockThrough a hole in the clouds she fell one dayAnd left her home on high so far awayFrom the day she came into this worldThere were tears in the eyes of that baby girlWe tried everything to heal the hurtBut she never could find peace on earthSo goodbye farewell homesick angelMay heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyesOh I wish you well homesick angelYeah I just wish we’d had more timeFrom a hillside grave a preacher writesWho could blame that girl for rushing backWho amongst once had seen that placeWould ever wanna step foot outside those gatesSo goodbye farewell homesick angelMay heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyesOh I wish you well homesick angelYeah I just wish we’d had more timeGod is god and I’m just a manSo I guess I’ll never understandBut the fire inside that lights my faithIs a smile I see upon her faceWhen I hold her again that daySo goodbye farewell homesick angelMay heaven shores be a sight for your sore eyesOh I wish you well homesick angelYeah I just wish we’d had more timeYeah, I just wish we’d had more time
