The band Reamonn began in 1990 in Freiburg, Germany with a classified advertisment from Rea in the paper. "Irish singer is looking for band for recording and tour". It didn't take long for Mike to contact Rea. He knew Sebi, who played in a band with Uwe. Uwe told Phil about the project they were doing and suddenly he was there too. Reamonn was born...
Reamonn is currently on hiatus, with vocalist Rea Garvey focusing on his solo career at the moment.
Angels Fly
Reamonn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She held your hand you knew it'd be all right
She spoke of places she'd never been
"Now is the time", she'd say, "to live the dream"
And she told us how she could fly
And she said "no need for goodbyes"
For we'd see her there in the skies
She stayed a while that summers day
Spoke through a smile of how she'd go away
I saw in her eyes, her pain
She took my hand and said "it'd be ok"
And now she's soaring up into the sky
And she takes us all in her flight
And she told us the reasons why
Angels fly, angels fly
Some summer days I can see the smile
And in so many ways she's still alive
And the love that she gave I keep down inside
I'm keeping it safe 'till I learn to fly
And she's soaring up into the sky
And she takes us all in her flight
And I feel she's still alive
Where angels fly, angels fly
And she told us how she could fly
And she said "no need for goodbyes"
For we'd see her there in the sky
Where angels fly, angels fly
Angels fly, my sweet angel flies.
