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
