Subject: need help to find name of song & artist
Written By: musiclover on 08/07/06 at 5:56 pm
Can someone help me find out the name of a tune and the artist? It came out in the 90's ( I believe) and the lyrics I remember are:
"The sky was falling. Heaven was calling. An angel crashes, rise up from the ashes" Then something about "drifting, floating, captured, raptured"
Thanks!

The song is most likely "Love Among the Ruins" by 10000 Maniacs.
Lyrics:
The sky was falling,
heaven was calling.
When danger crashes,
rose from the ashes.
Like two statues hidden inside ancient rock,
we were praying for the secrets to unlock.
And when the sun had turned its back on us,
in the dark our love kept track of us,
pushed together by the lack of love.
The sky was falling,
heaven was calling.
When danger crashes,
rose from the ashes.
We held each other tightly through our hell of dreams.
I still hear the never-ending echo of those screams.
But it's a life not made for reliving,
it's a life that makes your soul forgiving.
We sealed our bond from the beginning.
Aching, affection,
vulnerable protection;
falling, captured,
crawling, rapture.
The sky was falling,
heaven was calling.
When danger crashes,
rose from the ashes.
Subject: THANK YOU!!!!!That is the song !!

You're welcome, and I gave you a karma point since it took you so long to find the lyrics.
In the future, if you Google "lyrics The sky was falling. Heaven was calling" (no quotation marks), or whatever you may need, you will probably find them in about 15 seconds.
I wish I could say it took me longer than that, but at least now you won't have to wait years for the next song that stumps ya. :)
