Angel in Blue / J. Geils Band
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
