Blue Angel

When we were kids I was your friend watching you grow

You didn't get much of the love most of us know

Oh, oh, blue angel, I can't put you down

I should know better, I grew up in your part of town

And I can bless my good fortune, I came through it fine

Oh, oh, blue angel, you will always be a good old friend of mine

How many years since you took off with your guitar

Joining a band and singing sad songs 'round the bar

Oh, oh, blue angel, guess I should have known

That's not a good life for a girl far away from home

When you were sad, poor and lonely, too proud to let on

Oh, oh, blue angel, all your better times just never came along

Now the gentlemen of Soho buy your kindness and your smile

And your flesh is just a souvenir of London for a while

But I know what keeps you going, what you spend your money on

Some pusher man from hell has got you hooked on all that's wrong

And a pretty dress don't cover up your eyes

And I won't forget the emptiness I found in your disguise

La, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la

Oh, oh, blue angel, I can't put you down

I should know better, I grew up in your part of town

And I can bless my good fortune
