Linda was a beauty getting tired of the usual life
A divorcee on day release just another working mans ex wife
She caught him smiling at her in the airport bar
Felt together they might touch the sky
Only Angels Can Fly
Eddie was a gambling man who tried to make his fortune further south
Money did the talking his wallet was connected to his mouth
Linda might be trouble, but trouble can go far
With something just as desperate by his side
Only Angels can fly
Eddie told his story driving from the airport to the track
he oewd some people money and they were looking hard to get it back
Only Angels Can Fly
Eddie lit a cigarette and put his last two hundred on the nose
The horse was called expedient
That appealed to Linda I suppose
Linda she was crying the horse it ended last
Eddie said I think i'm gonna die
Only Angels Can Fly
