ANGEL OF HARLEM - U2

ANGEL OF HARLEM


  (For Billie Holiday)
  
  It was a cold and wet December day
  When we touched the ground at JFK
  Snow was melting on the ground
  On BLS I heard the sound
  Of an angel
  
  New York, like a Christmas tree
  Tonight this city belongs to me
  Angel
  
  Soul love
  This love won't let me go
  So long
  Angel of Harlem
  
  Birdland on fifty three
  The street sounds like a symphony
  We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
  Miles, and she's got to be an angel
  
  Lady Day got diamond eyes
  She sees the truth behind the lies
  Angel
  
  Soul love
  This love won't let me go
  So long
  Angel of Harlem
  Angel of Harlem
  
  She says it's heart
  Heart and soul...
  Yeah, yeah...(yeah)
  Yeah, yeah...(right now)
  
  Blue light on the avenue
  God knows they got to you
  An empty glass, the lady sings
  Eyes swollen like a bee sting
  Blinded you lost your way
  Through the side streets and the alleyway
  Like a star exploding in the night
  Falling to the city in broad daylight
  An angel in Devil's shoes
  Salvation in the blues
  You never looked like an angel
  Yeah, yeah
  Angel of Harlem
  
  Angel
  Angel of Harlem
  Angel
  Angel of Harlem...
