My yearning goes on
Overlooking St. Marks
From the fire escape I am watching
A shot in the dark
A man walking by
For a moment, it was you

On and on
I can't let you go 'til I know where you go (you are an angel)
I believe in the sway of the summer nights (ooh, angel)
I still live to breathe your breath of life
I believe in destiny deep in the angel inside
I still believe in the sway of the summer nights

The smell of your hair
The way that we danced
My hands in your black leather jacket
Wherever you are
What was it I missed?
I was lost in your kiss

On and on
I can't let you go 'til I know where you go (you are an angel)
I believe in the sway of the summer nights (ooh, angel)
I still live to breathe your breath of life
I believe in destiny deep in the angel inside
I still believe in the sway of the summer nights

Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh...

When flesh and blood cries
On and on
I can't let you go 'til I know where you go (you are an angel)
I believe in the sway of the summer nights (ooh, angel)
I still live to breathe your breath of life
I believe in destiny deep in the angel inside
I still believe in the sway of the summer nights
Ooh, in the sway of the summer nights
Angel in the sway of the summer nights
Ooh, in the sway of the summer nights
