"Angel City" lyrics - RHIANNON GIDDENS

When I came to Angel City, I was on the run
Blinded by my own pity, I was nearly done
Stock heartbroken, bitter and poor, burdened down by sin
I fought hard to find the door, didn't know how to get in

[Chorus:]
Time and time at hand, you helped me over the sand
Gently rising to be, you walked a mile with me
And I saw the sea

I am found where I was lost, I am closer to free
Heart unbound, whatever the cost, all rivers fall to the sea

[Chorus:]
Time and time at hand, you helped me over the sand
Gently rising to be, you walked a mile with me
And I saw the sea
Time and time at hand, you helped me over the sand
Gently rising to be, you walked a mile with me
And I saw the sea
