All around me strangers scurry –
In a crowd but all alone.
Got to hurry – pack my worries,
Feel the arms that I call home.
I am lonely – I am lost,
Inside my private holocaust.
Chorus:
O' steel angel please carry me –
Fly me to my love,
From cold Earth far beneath me –
To the Heavens high above.
All aboard but flying so-low,
(Chocks away) the engines start.
Crossing oceans of emotion that circumnavigate my heart.
Have you ever talked wit hsomeone,
Not recalled a single word?
The gentle rhythm of the humdrum,
It was the only sound I heard.
Why was I not so astute as to stow
My dreams a parachute?
Chorus:
O' steel angel please carry me –
Fly me to my love,
From cold Earth far beneath me –
To the Heavens high above.
It seems they never sensed how time was passing,
Deep in teh silence and the cold.
Sat living, breathing, drinking, laughing –
While Death lay sleeping in the hold.
Then my eyes beheld a vision,
A beauty brighter than the starts.
One single spark – and the ignition,
Bathe my flesh and heal the scars.
The hand that dared to touch god's knife,
But 'Isle of Jura' – I love life.
Chorus:
O' steel angel please carry me –
Fly me to my love,
From cold Earth far beneath me –
To the Heavens high above.
