Dark Angel - Blue Rodeo

I met this girl
She's walking through one of my dreams
She kissed my eyes
And everything that she said
Made so much sense to me
That I still feel like I'm half asleep

My dark angel
She gave me diamonds for eyes
She walked by
Now I'm hypnotised
By this dream
That just won't stop
And I feel
Like I've always been lost in this dream

The rumours of heaven
Only speed the truth on earth
My dark angel
Shine your light on my curse
You are the other that I have to find
Until I do
I guess I'll see you 'round my mind

So Colorado
Is a place I have to go
I heard a rumour
She loves the mountains and the snow
My dark angel
She gave me diamonds for eyes
My dark angel
I offer you my heart
My dark angel I think I loved you from the start

'Cause there is this face I know
That I've never seen
Sometimes I feel I'm living in
Someone else's dream
Still I'd like to thank you
For stopping to talk
And I wonder
Just into who's dream did who walk
Oh my dark angel
Shine your light on me
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light on me

    I will never forget watching him sing his heart out at ArtPark in Lewiston,NY whilst the crowd talked over him. So sad …because it is my absolute fav Blue Rodeo song.

    I met this girl from Burlington ont I miss her every day.
  • This song has special meaning to me. A number of years ago I met a beautiful young woman in Los Angeles who had moved there to pursue acting and singing. She was very talented and had a joyful heart. She had the potential to become a very successful country singer and perhaps the first black female superstar in that genre. The one day she fell and hurt her hip and wouldn't heal. I took her to UCLA Medical becaue she had no insurance and I still recall them pushing her out into the parking lot in a wheelchair. The "doctor" told her because she was so skinny she was a drug addict and wouldn't help her. Saddest thing I ever say. She never did drugs and was thin to begin with being a model and thinner due to the illness. We went elsewhere and they did a quick look and found a large tumor. That night I drove her and her dogs to Colorado nonstop to her mother a successful realtor and her father an engineer at HP. It was soon discovered she had full blown cancer and died less than a year later.

    I agree! One of my favorites. I say that about most all of them though. Sky may be my favorite??? Or Bad Timing, Til I Gain Control...Finger Lakes...Falling Down Blue, Rain Down On Me...a tough decision. So many!

    Hi Denise, I am SO sorry about your little daughter...my heart goes out to you. I know that your little girl is aware of your love and devotion. May God bless you and give you comfort.

    This song puts me at ease and deep thoughts at the same time.

  • @kamac8761
    Why do people put thumbs down for Blue Rodeo? I will never understand people!!
  • @finalmattasy
    by now, i think this is a guilty past pleasure. the vocal spacing has gaps where I used to feel emotions when I was younger, that I don't identify with anymore, and this results in a feeling of embarrassment. But still, love the lyrics. I could say, "many winter listens." This song blew my mind over and over and over again. =)

    This song always reminds me of walking around the kitchen with my baby daughter in the cool breeze on a summer night. Her head was under my chin, her body pressed against my chest. She was clammy and tiny. I knew she would die before she was two and finally she did when she was nine months old. She is my dark angel and shines her light on me every day. Until we meet again, sweet little girl...
