Artist/Band: Joan Baez
Lyrics for Song: Angeline
Lyrics for Album: Blessed Are [1994]



YesterdayÂ's newspapers forecasts no rain for today


YesterdayÂ's news was old news, the skies are all grey


WinterÂ's in labor and soon will give birth to the spring


And sprinkle the meadows with flowers for my Angeline





Heartache and sorrow and sadness unendingly find


Wings on a memory and with them she flies to my mind


She stretched her arms for a moment, then went back to sleep


While morning stood watching me ever so silently weak





She opened her eyes, Lord, the minute my feet touched the floor


The cold hard-wood creaked with each step that I made to the door


Then I turned to her gently and said, "Hon, just look, it is spring"


Knowing outside the window, the winter looked for Angeline





But yesterdayÂ's newspaper forecast no rain for today,


But yesterdayÂ's news is old news the skies are all grey


Angeline - Joan Baez

Joan Baez's "Angeline" appears on her 1994 album *Blessed Are*, marking a return to her signature folk style after a period of varied musical exploration. The song reflects Baez's lifelong commitment to social commentary and acoustic storytelling, characteristic of her work spanning from the 1960s counterculture movement through her later career. Recorded with her distinctive voice and minimal instrumentation, the track exemplifies the intimate, narrative-driven approach that defined her discography. As a prominent figure in American folk music, Baez often wove personal reflection with broader cultural themes, and "Angeline" continues this tradition by focusing on human connection and resilience within a simple, evocative musical framework.
