When I first heard this song I knew that Gabriel had to refer to the archangel Gabriel. So, being curious I went to Wikipedia and looking him up. Lo and behold, they including a good explanation of this song in the article:
"In 2006, British singer/songwriter Foy Vance recorded the song 'Gabriel and the Vagabond', and the single was featured on the Grey's Anatomy episode 'Superstition'. The song tells the tale of the angel helping a begger, who in turns helps others, inspiring a town of people and causing them to repent."
