Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We met in a bar
Out on Chesapeake Bay
With her white patent boots
And her blouse, red lamé
A table-top dancer
She would smile on cue
Oh, those lips of an angel
Angel in blue
[Verse 2]
She'd been dancing 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 wildcat angel
Angel in blue
[Bridge]
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"
[Verse 3]
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
Never had dreams
So they never came true
Ah, the palest of angels
Angel in blue
[Verse 4]
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
Never had dreams
So they never came true
Ah, my fade-away angel
Angel in blue
[Outro]
Angel in blue
Fade-away angel
Angel in blue
Fade-away angel
Angel in blue
Fade-away angel
Fade-away, fade-away, fade away angel
Angel in blue
Fade-away angel
Fade-away angel
Angel in blue
Fade-away angel
Fade-away, fade-away, fade-away, fade-away, fade-away, fade-away, fade-away
Angel in blue
Fade-away angel
Angel in blue
Fade-away angel
