|
We met in a bar |
|
Out on Chesapeake Bay |
|
With her white patent boots |
|
And her blouse red lame |
|
A table top dancer |
|
She would smile on cue |
|
Oh those lips of an angel |
|
Angel in blue |
|
She'd been dancin for ages |
|
Through cities of bars |
|
She was kickin' the habit |
|
Of scoring in cars |
|
She'd been drained of her spirit |
|
All caged up in this zoo |
|
A wild cat angel |
|
Angel in blue |
|
And as she stared out into nowhere |
|
I thought yes I thought she might break down and cry |
|
Oh when I whispered I thought I could love her |
|
She just said, "Baby don't even bother to try" |
|
And I watched as she spoke |
|
Her words chilled my bones |
|
All her friends did her favors |
|
That were really just loans |
|
And she never had dreams |
|
So they never came true |
|
Oh the palest of angels |
|
Angel in blue |
|
And the bees they had stung her |
|
The birds they had flown |
|
There were guys she could number |
|
But none had she known |
|
And she never had dreams |
|
So they never came true |
|
Oh my fade away angel |
|
Angel in blue |
|
Angel in blue |
|
Angel in blue |
|
Angel in blue |
