We met in a bar, out on Chesapeake Bay
With her white patent boots
And her blouse, red leme
A tabletop dancer, she would smile on cue
Ah, those lips of an angel, angel in blue
She'd been dancing for ages
Through cities of bars
She was kicking the habit
Of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit
All caged up in a zoo
Ah, a wildcat 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
Ah, 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
Ah, my fade away angel angel in Blue
