Lyrics

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 fly so-low
(Chocks away) the engines start
Crossing oceans of emotion that circumnavigate my heart

Have you ever talked to someone
Not recalled a single word?
The gentle rhythm of the humdrum
It was the only sound I heard

Why was I not so astute to stow
My dreams a parachute?

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 the silence and the cold
Sat living, breathing, drinking, laughing -
While death lay sleeping in the hold

Then my eyes beheld a vision
A beaty brighter than the stars
One singe spark - and then ignition
Bathe my flesh and heal the scars

The hand that dared to touch god's knife
But 'isle of jura' - I love life

O' steel angel please carry me -
Fly me to my love
From cold earth far beneath me
To the heavens high above
