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
