Lyrics of Angel Of Harlem by U2
verse
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
verse
New York, like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel
chorus
Soul love, this love won't let me go
So long, angel of Harlem
verse
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
verse
Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel
chorus
Soul love, this love won't let me go
So long, angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem
bridge
She says it's heart, heart and soul
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah (right now)
verse
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
verse
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
verse
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah, yeah, angel of Harlem
outro
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Writer(s): Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen, Dave Evans, Paul David Hewson
