“Following the Angels” is a song that Mike Oldfield wrote to pay tribute to the fact that he got the biggest career boost of all the artists who performed that night: at HMV, sales of Tubular Bells rose by 757% overnight.
[Verse 1]
In that moment, there was peace
No one walked alone on the streets
A migration of dancing light
Gathering, returning home from the night
[Hook]
It came falling down
Following the angels down
Falling down
Following the angels down
[Verse 2]
As the sun went down over the bridge
And the music and dance reached its pitch
Satellites, they joined the world in the games
Hope was born again, to live in the flame
[Hook 2]
They came falling down
Following the angels down
Falling down
Following the angels down
[Verse 3]
If I never live to see another day
I wish that it could always be just that way
Like a symphony of dancing light
Banishing the world’s woes into the night
[Hook 2]
They came falling down
Following the angels down
Falling down
Following the angels down
[Outro]
Following the angels down (x16)
