lyrics

ANGELS PLAYING FOOTBALL

Sprinkle my ashes on St. James’s Park
Fragments of goals on the grass
Hear the Gallowgate roar in the dark
All of my dreams come to pass

Pass me my memories
Pass me the days
Pass me a ball and I’ll play

Play with the angels
Play on their wings
Play in the thunder and lightning

I leave you these goals in my will
Snapshots of me on the run
I leave you these pieces of skill
Moments of me in the sun

Pass me my memories
Pass me the days
Pass me a ball and I’ll play

Play with the angels
Play on their wings
Play in the thunder and lightning

Pass me my memories
Pass me the days
Pass me a ball and I’ll play

Play with the angels
Play on their wings
Play in the thunder and lightning

(lyrics: Keith Armstrong / music: Gary Miller)
