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.
