Emeli Sandé - Saints And Shadows Lyrics






[Emeli Sandé:]
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

[Swizz Beatz:]
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

[Emeli Sandé:]
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

    First episode is one for the books. Just enough action and drama. Not over the top at all. This series is definitely worth a watch.

    E.... ....

    Specially how the 1st episode ended with bumpy talking to his daughter, I was like wow. The dope was even hitting at home

    E.... ....

    Will it also come to netflix?

    E.... ....

    It is a great series...because it touches on REAL history-making times during the worst times for a BLACK FEMALE AND MALE in America (Civil Rights era) and the World. Some ot the instances are highlighted slightly differently...because so far it has been on point. Even people who grew up with these people say it is very close to facts. The music is tough and real too! Mr. Whitaker and the cast are superb...Vincent D'Onofrio- playing the last 'The Chin - Gigante'...rocks his character as well. So many great actors portraying historical figures (Adam Clayton Powell (Giancarlo Esposito)) (Malcolm X (Nigel Thatch)), Mrs. Johnson (Ilfenesh Hadera), Bumpy's adult daughter( Antonette Crowe-Legacy) and younger daughter, Bumpy's main hitman (Del Chance played by Erick LaRay Harvey). Also, Paul Sorvino (Costello) and Chazz Palimentieri (Joseph Bonnano) playing major respectively historical mobsters. So many very talented actors. I have seen many from series like Boardwalk, The Sopranos also returning to cable series. Just loads of fun and entertainment with very fine actors and actresses.
