Cat Stevens is not one to burden listeners with unnecessary obscurity. Angelsea is a straightforward tribute and love song to the Earth's ocean. The masterstroke of this song lies in its celestial opening which instantly notes how the waters of our planet are unique, precious and spiritual. Verses that follow celebrate specific aspects of the seas that inspire and cradle life. This song is an underrated wonder. There is no other like it. I do wish some lyric site would lay out the chorus of this song. It's likely a syncopated fa-la-la, but my brain tries to hear words whenever I listen to this. P.S. Just love the drum work in Angelsea.
@McLlach Yusuf/Cat Steven's himself did so recently on his YouTube channel. The lyrics are "Boom da le saculaison boom da le qua" which he openly admited to be wholey made up words meant to sound like an Armenian chorus.

@McLlach Excellent comment. I too would like to know what that chorus is.
