Angel In Manhattan Lyrics - Singles - Ellis Paul

Tell the man who repairs the wings for Angels 

That one has fallen among the mortals on Bleeker Street 

I lent a hand, she looked up at the steeples 

As if to blame them for the pavement beneath her feet 

She said, "I never much liked flyin', the job requires trying 

The hard part's avoiding buildings and concrete" 

Spread the news 'cause there's an Angel in Manhattan 

Call out the paparazzi and the television crews 

Let the people choose, would a little faith come to harm them? 

Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News 

It was just another day, like any other, other day, a Tuesday afternoon 

I hailed a cab, a crowd gathered as it pulled beside us 

And somebody tore at her wings, but I helped her safely inside 

"I'm much obliged", she said, but the driver he looked shaken 

He said, "You're fakin', little lady, now who's takin' who for a ride" 

Then we floated up over the traffic, she turned the radio to static 

And she sang to him with Billy Holiday's sweet voice 

Spread the news 'cause there's an Angel in Manhattan 

Call out the paparazzi and the the television crews 

Hey, if you choose would a little faith come to harm you? 

Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News 

It was just another day, what will the Mayor say? 

"Good afternoon", oh, Good afternoon 

We flew down the length of Fifth Avenue 

And she threw out miracles, it was a hysterical ride 

And if the crowd on the sidewalk looked skeptical 

Well, she took the blue right out of their cynical eyes 

It's all in what you feel inside, hmm 

She shook the Mayor's hand 

And he declared that he'd hold a press conference 

The fans and protesters blocked the stairs to city hall 

"I'd like to thank you all", he said 

And when she stepped before the cameras 

Now it felt like a trial, but she smiled as the questions were called, 

"What do you say to detractors, who claim you're just some actor?" 

She said, "The question here is 'do I believe in you?'" 

It was just another day, like any other, other day 

Spread the news, I saw an an Angel fly from Manhattan 

In front of paparazzi, in front of television crews 

And me, I choose, I know a little Faith wouldn't harm me 

Despite what they print in the New York Daily News 

It was just another day, like any other, other day, like any day
