Blue light on the avenue

An empty glass, the lady sings
A                   D
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
A       D
Blinded you lost your way
A                       D  
Through the side streets

and the alleyway
A                     D
Like a star exploding in the night
A                   
  Falling to the city
    D
in broad daylight

An angel in Devil's shoes

Salvation in the blues
