Fly Down

Fly down, fly down, my angel
 And light on my right knee
 I need a little comfort
 Some gentle company
 Fly down, fly down, my angel
 And stay close by my side
 Hard times have come a-callin'
 They will not be denied
 All at once I feel a bitter wail
 There's darkness in my doorway
 That's howlin' to get in
 Fly down, fly down, my angel
 I'm standing in the track
 And I hear the beating thunder
 Of that dark horse doubling back
 Fly down, fly down, my angel
 And take hold of my hand
 I walk this world of sorrow
 Alone upon the land
 All at once, the darkness comes again
 If I were to meet an angel
 If I could find a friend
 Fly down, fly down, my angel
 And light on my right knee
 I need a little comfort
 Some gentle company
