U2 – Angel of Harlem (Zoo TV 1993) – 1988

    Paroles

    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
    AngelSoul 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
    AngelSoul 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
    Angel, angel of Harlem
    Angel, angel of Harlem
