Saints and shadows


And I swear to God
I'm someone's daughter
I love too hard
Just like my mother
But when the saints come, come marching in
Please don't pass us by

Well I saw your face when I was dreaming
Was in some place, the Heaven's even
And there were waterfalls falling from the sky
And I knew the saints were on their way

I fall like a feather
You can meet me wherever the wind blows
You take off the pressure
Lifting me off my tippy toes
Did you read my letter?
Only Heaven knows

Ayy, ayy, ayy
The streets froze over 'cause it's so cold
Everything that glitter, no, it ain't gold
Risk your life and give up your soul
But you don't really care, but to each his own
But I know that they know that the throne is all mine
I'm comin' out strong, I'm 'bout to blow minds
And go off (Pow), and go off
Emeli, sing

Home's where the heart is
This is the place I rest my bones
I love you regardless
I can feel you beating in my soul

Well I work all night
My oil is burning
And I close my eyes
My heart is bursting
And when the saints
Come see the shadow
That they saved from still burns

Well I held my breath when I was sinking
And by some grace, I heard you singing
And it's the sweetest melody that's ever kissed my ears
When saints came marching in

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics SAINTS AND SHADOWS of GODFATHER OF HARLEM is also present in the album Harlem is mine (2019)
