Angels Eyes
Leonard Cohen · Other Songs - Leonard Cohen
(Angels) You are an angel, dare
You mess around down there
Arms open wide to save
Mankind you are depraved
What is wrong oh what?
(Judy) I'm in love
(Angels) You nut!
(Michael) Angel eyes
You've been crying lately
Paradise
Ain't like it used to be
Can't get to sleep
Can't face the light
Weep baby weep
You've no angel tonight
(Judy) Angel eyes
You've been crying lately
Paradise
Ain't like it used to be
Can't get to sleep
Can't face the light
Weep baby weep
You've no angel tonight
(Michael & You've been bad
Angels) You've been good
You've been around
Like a good angel should
(Judy) One more heart
One more town
Falling apart
When there's no one around
(Angels) Falling angel, angel...
(Michael & Judy) Angel eyes
You've been crying lately
All this time
Aren't you tired baby
Trying to fly when you
Don't have the height
Cry baby cry
You're no angel tonight
(Michael & Holy ground
Angels) Hollywood
You've been around
Like a good angel should
(Judy) One more heart
One more town
Falling apart
When there's no one around
(Angels) Falling angel, angel...
You've got to be kidding
Yes we know what you're
Thinking about but you'd
Better stop dreaming, Angel
Better stop by here and now
He's just an ordinary man
And you're all mixed up
Why are you listening to him?
Why say Angel - say Angel
Angel, Angel... oo - oo - oo
(Michael) You're no angel, baby
(Judy) You're no angel, baby
(Michael & Judy) Can't get to sleep
Can't face the light
Weep baby weep
You're no angel,
Angels Eyes
Leonard Cohen's "Angels Eyes" stands as a haunting centerpiece in his expansive catalog of spiritual and introspective ballads. Recorded during the late 1980s, the track exemplifies Cohen's signature style, blending poetic lyricism with a somber, atmospheric arrangement that underscores themes of faith, mortality, and divine presence. The song's melodic structure and Cohen's distinctive vocal delivery create an immersive soundscape that has become integral to his legacy as a profound interpreter of religious and existential subjects. Often associated with his broader body of work from that era, "Angels Eyes" captures the quiet intensity characteristic of his later recordings, resonating deeply with listeners seeking contemplative music.
