Angel Of La Cienega And Oxnard - In memory of Martin Creighton.
lyrics
Your heart gave out one night in March
Phone call from Richmond brought the news
I couldn't believe it I thought that it would just go on beating
You had the kindest eyes of steely blue
We were so messed up last time I spoke to you
Street light like a halo round your head
Standing on a corner in West Hollywood
You were so beautiful pale and strange
Chorus
You looked like an angel
A face so graceful
Just like an angel
Of La Cienega And Oxnard
Angel
Drunk driving from Santa Monica
Kicked out of bars broken up and stoned
You had my back when I could not recall my own name
I was not a good friend to you
I hope to repay you someday
Chorus
You looked like an angel
A face so graceful
Just like an angel
Of La Cienega And Oxnard
Angel
Of La Cienega And Oxnard
Mid 8
Shoes are leaden on my feet
And I took a wrong turn down this one way street
Skin is crawling and my eyes can't see
Won't you help me angel
Won't you help me angel
Of La Cienega And Oxnard
Angel
Of La Cienega And Oxnard
Angel.
