Caravan of Angels - Jason Robert Brown

I know a room in Memphis, Tennessee

With our names written over the bed

There is a rose in Southern Italy

Growing right in the spot where you once laid your head

I have a picture from Mexico

Of a hammock built for two

And there’s you and me, and caravan of angels

Following us close behind

You and me, and a caravan angels

Anyway the road will wind

Maybe we’ll find the wine has turned

The fireworks have gone

There’s still you and me

And the caravan we’re leading on

(Yeah, yeah)

In Illinois, I’m told there’s a ghost

In the house where I first made you cry

And there’s a phone only minutes from the coast

Where you don’t know I heard you tell me a lie

Right at Columbus & 81st

There’s a challenge we came through

And there’s you and me, and caravan of angels

Harmonizing every note

Observe, you and me, and a caravan angels

Making sure we stay afloat

And if we wrote a thousand lines

But couldn’t find the song

There’s still you and me

And the caravan to sing along

There on the freeway, there on the plain

There on the playground slide

Crowding around us, forming a border

Two whole lifetimes wide

I wrote some words on a Hallmark card

That I wasn’t sure were true—

Until you and me, and caravan of angels

Trusting how the river flows

There goes you and me, and a caravan angels

How they found us, nobody knows

And only those who see this well

Can tell how love is blind

'Cause there’s you and me

And the summer, and the sea

And the big red sun, and the tall oak tree

And the people that we call a family

There’s just you and me

And the caravan that we define, oh

It’s a caravan of angels

Watching over us

It’s a caravan of angels

Everywhere we go

There they are, there they are

A caravan of angels

A caravan of angels

Oh, alright

It’s just a caravan of angels

A caravan of angels

Watching over us

A caravan of angels
