Angel
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Come to save her soul...
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel...
She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no-one can tell her
What to do now
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singin live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet
Her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Come to save her soul...
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel...
She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no-one can tell her
What to do now
And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singin live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)
Well she's gone to meet
Her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Angel - Eurythmics
Released on the 2005 reissue album Boxed, 'Angel' stands as a defining track in the discography of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. The song exemplifies the duo's signature blend of new wave and electronic pop, characterized by Lennox's distinctive vocal delivery and Stewart's atmospheric production. While the original 1983 recording was a global phenomenon, this version offers a refined take on the material that continues to resonate within the genre. The track remains a cornerstone of their catalog, illustrating their enduring influence on synth-pop and their ability to craft emotionally resonant soundscapes that transcend their initial era.
