Lyrics The Angel of Lyon (Live in St. Louis) - Tom Russell
He
had
a
vision
of
Anne
Marie
With
a
rosary
in
her
hand
So
it's
exit
the
rainmaker
The
old
gray
flannel
man
With
a
closet
full
of
business
suits
He
left
a
letter
near
the
phone
It
said,
"I'm
on
my
way
to
paradise
To
see
the
angel
of
lyon"
And
then
he
caught
the
train
to
Brussels
He
ordered
cognac
and
croissants
He
made
a
mental
list
Of
things
he
owned
but
didn't
want
All
the
buildings,
all
the
real
estate
The
antique
glass
and
stone
He'd
trade
a
vow
of
poverty
To
see
the
angel
of
Lyon
And
he
sang
ave
maria
Or
at
least
the
parts
he
knew
And
watched
the
shadow
of
the
train
On
the
towns
that
they
rolled
through
And
he
closed
his
eyes
and
he
saw
two
rivers
The
Rhone
and
the
saone
The
male
and
female
spirit
of
The
city
of
Lyon
Then
he
waited
on
the
bridge
Where
they
met
the
year
before
But
the
days
turned
into
weeks
And
then
the
seasons
numbered
four
And
his
clothes
grew
worn
and
ragged
As
through
that
town
he
roamed
Searching
every
open
window
For
the
angel
of
Lyon
And
he
sang
Ava
maria
Or
at
least
the
parts
he
knew
And
watched
his
shadow
on
the
walls
Of
the
streets
that
he
walked
through
And
he
crossed
those
holy
rivers
The
Rhone
and
the
saone
They'd
not
give
up
the
secret
of
The
angel
of
Lyon
There's
a
thousand
candles
burning
In
the
basilica
tonight
Where
sister
eve
maria
Is
the
keeper
of
the
light
And
down
a
dream
of
alleyways
Walks
a
saint
of
rag
and
bone
The
madman
torn
asunder
By
the
angel
of
lyon
And
he
sang
ava
maria
Or
at
least
the
parts
he
knew
And
watched
his
shadow
on
the
wall
Of
the
streets
that
he
crawled
through
And
he
crossed
those
holy
rivers
The
Rhone
and
the
saone
But
they'd
not
give
up
the
secret
of
The
angel
of
Lyon
