(Verse 1)
I saw an angel in the downtown light
Neon halos in the middle of the night
Taxi shadows, hearts in overdrive
Somewhere between dead and alive
You looked at me like you knew my name
Like every scar and every little flame
I tried to run, I tried to hide
But heaven and hell were side by side
(Pre-Chorus)
New York feeling in my blood tonight
Cold steel buildings, holy city lights
Tell me, baby, what is mine?
Where do lost souls go to survive?
(Chorus)
Sun angel, stay a little while
Burn your gold into my eyes
I saw an angel, I couldn’t hide
Heaven or hell on my side
Sun angel
Take me through the fire slow
If you leave me, let me know
Am I falling, am I flying?
Sun angel, where do I belong?
(Verse 2)
Subway prayers underneath the rain
Everybody running from the pain
But your voice cut through the crowd
Soft like thunder, clear and loud
I touched your hand, the city shook
Like a sinner reading a sacred book
Every street sign turned divine
For one last moment, you were mine
(Pre-Chorus)
New York feeling in my veins tonight
Broken hearts under paradise lights
Tell me, baby, what is mine?
Am I rescued or sacrificed?
(Chorus)
Sun angel, stay a little while
Burn your gold into my eyes
I saw an angel, I couldn’t hide
Heaven or hell on my side
Sun angel
Take me through the fire slow
If you leave me, let me know
Am I falling, am I flying?
Sun angel, where do I belong?
(Bridge)
And if the morning takes you away
I’ll still hear your wings in the subway rain
Half of me holy, half of me wild
Still chasing the light through the smoke and miles
(Final Chorus)
Sun angel
Shine across this broken town
Lift me up or drag me down
I saw an angel in the night
And now nothing feels the same inside
Sun angel
Heaven and hell collide
But you were there with me tonight
Sun angel…
Sun angel…
