Strawbs - Blue Angel lyrics
rate meThe gypsy girl stood quite alone<br />
Her eyes were brightly shining<br />
Her head was in the clouds<br />
Where she had found the silver lining<br />
And all the while the crippled boy<br />
Was dancing with his lady fair<br />
While I stood on the sidelines<br />
Trying to make out that I wasn't there.<br />
<br />
So loud the music grew and grew<br />
With ever greater pain<br />
I stepped back in the shadows<br />
For I could not stand the strain<br />
I tried to look, my eyes were blind<br />
I tried to speak but could not find<br />
The words to say.<br />
<br />
They left me lying where I lay<br />
I could not bear the light of day.<br />
<br />
Treat me kindly dear blue angel<br />
Deepest colour of the night<br />
Be merciful, be gentle <br />
For I have no strength to fight.<br />
<br />
Half Worlds Apart<br />
<br />
So I lay in half world dream state<br />
Pressed like a flower in the pages of a half book<br />
Words in softly spoken whispers<br />
Steal through the silence of the blue veiled half light<br />
The best of questions have no answers<br />
The best of answers need no questions<br />
Born on the quest for a wave of half peace<br />
Acquired in a Dresden china cuplet<br />
Bound in the chains of the half book binding<br />
Half way to my half life.<br />
<br />
Treat me kindly dear blue angel<br />
Deepest colour of the night<br />
Be merciful, be gentle <br />
For I have no strength to fight.<br />
<br />
So she lay in half museum<br />
Pinned like a butterfly which failed to reach its half life<br />
Tender moments left half spoken<br />
Lost like an orphan in the pleasures of the dream state<br />
A man of honour has no secrets<br />
How can I be a man of secrets<br />
Trapped in the web of the woven blue veil<br />
Peering to find the angel weaver<br />
Most sacred saviour of the silver lining<br />
Half way to my half life.<br />
<br />
Treat me kindly dear blue angel<br />
Deepest colour of the night<br />
Be merciful, be gentle <br />
For I have no strength to fight.<br />
<br />
At Rest<br />
<br />
Sleep the sleep of peace my love<br />
And I will let you be<br />
I alone can comfort<br />
I alone can set you free<br />
I will be your healer<br />
And give you back your pride<br />
In times of need remember me<br />
At rest here by your side.<br />
<br />
When the hour of darkness comes<br />
And time itself stands still<br />
When voices from the future<br />
Seem to come and go at will<br />
I will be your servant<br />
Your ever constant guide<br />
When all is lost remember me<br />
At rest here by your side.<br />
<br />
The wisdom of the fool is such<br />
That he alone is sane<br />
So delicate the balance<br />
That e'er the moon could wax and wane<br />
I will be your teacher<br />
And show you where to hide<br />
When all else fails remember me<br />
At rest here by your side.<br />
<br />
Treat me kindly dear blue angel<br />
Deepest colour of the night<br />
Be merciful, be gentle <br />
For I have no strength to fight
