"The Gods Were Angry With Me" lyrics

The Gods Were Angry With Me

The gods were angry with me for loving you
The gods were angry with me because they knew
I stood at heaven's portals
But they were too high
For any mortal such as I

So they took down the sun
The skies were gray
Then the howling wind took you away
There was nothing I could do for I could see
It was because the gods were angry with me

Once upon a time
When our love was young and new
I was so happy
In the heaven that I have found
Then one day the gods looked down
And they saw me there holding you
That day they sent my heaven
Crashing to the ground

Yes they took down the sun
The skies were gray
Then the howling wind took you away
There was nothing I could do for I could see
It was because the gods were angry with me
