Father please make me an angel
Give me wings, so I can fly
And they'll replace the wings she gave me
Make me an angel in her eyes
Father please make me a willow
Cause heaven knows that I can weep
If you won't change me, you can hang me
And from the branches I'll fall asleep
Take these hands that held her hands
And take me to the grave
Close these eyes that saw her face
Cause I can't look away
Father please make me a mountain
Like a statue in the snow
If she found me, lord I'd crumble
Make me a mountain so I'll never know
Take these hands that held her hands
And take me to the Grave
Close these eyes that saw her face
Cause I can't look away
Lord at least make me a bottle
Fill me up with the finest gin
She'll hold me close when she needs me most
And I'll take her pain away again
Well I guess I'll be a memory
Almost just the way we were
There's only one more thing I'll ask you
If I'm a memory make me hurt
