Angel
A Jimi Hendrix song dating from 1970, performed by Joanna Newsom on 26 June 2005
at the Royal Festival Hall, London, England, as part of Patti Smith’s Meltdown Festival
(Songs of Experience - the work of Jimi Hendrix and the music that inspired him).



    angel came down from heaven yesterday,
    stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
    and she told me a story yesterday
    about the love between the moon and the deep blue sea

    then she spread her wings high over me,
    said she'll come back to see me tomorrow
    and I said:

    fly on, my sweet angel
    fly on through the sky
    fly on, my sweet angel
    tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side

    sure enough, that woman came to me
    silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
    and my angel, she said unto me:

    today is the day for you to rise
    take my hand, you're gonna be my mind, you're gonna rise
    then she took me high over yonder
    and I said:

    fly on, my sweet angel
    fly on through the sky
    fly on, my sweet angel
    tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side
