Maggie's (Brand-New Angel)

There's a clear mountain stream flowing somewhere tonight
On a journey into the unknown,
There's a bluebird that's whistling a loving "Godspeed"
And an old weeping willow to mourn.

There's a brand-new angel in heaven tonight
Outshining the glow from the moon,
A brand-new angel shaking hands with old Hank
Take your fiddle and give us a tune.

Some old-fashioned roses are waving goodbye
Summer sun sinking low in the west,
The journey is over, your race is well-run
Weary traveler, come home now and rest.

Remember the rainbow, it was double that day
God's promise spread out on the sky,
Remember the loved ones who wait for us there
Where the music and the love never die.
