Lyrics - Angel Of Harlem by U 2

It was a cold and wet
December day
When we touched the ground at
JFKSnow 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 says 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...[
Repeat and fade]
