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