Lyrics
Tin Angel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Varnished weeds in window jars
Tarnished beads on tapestries
Kept in satin boxes are
Reflections of love's memories
Letters from across the seas
Roses dipped in sealing wax
Valentines and maple leaves
Tucked into a paperback
Guess I'll throw them all away
I found someone to love today
Dark with darker moods is he
Not a golden prince who's come
Through columbines and wizardry
To talk of castles in the sun
Still I'll take a chance and say
I found someone to love today
There's a sorrow in his eyes
Like the angel made of tin
What will happen if I try
To place another heart in him
In a bleecker street café
I found someone to love today
I found someone to love today
