Street Angel Lyrics - Paul Simon

My heart goes out to the street angels 

Working their way back home 

My heart goes out to the street angels 

I saved my change for a street angel 

Working his way back home 

I had this exchange with the street angel: 

"Nobody talks to me much 

I said, nobody talks to me much 

Nobody."

So he says 

"I make my verse for the universe 

I write my rhymes for the universities 

And I give it away for the hoot of it 

I tell my tale for the toot of it 

I wear my suit for the suit of it 

The tree is bare, but the root of it 

Goes deeper than logical reasoning 

It's God goes fishing 

And we are the fishes 

He baits his lines 

With prayers and wishes 

They sparkle in the shallows 

And catch the falling light 

We hide our hearts like holy hostages 

While hungry for the love, and so we bite."

Working his way back home 

He's working his way back home 

Took him away in the ambulance 

Made away with the ambulance 

He waved goodbye from the ambulance 

My heart goes out to the street angel
