Joni Mitchell Tin Angel
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 see 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 Bleeker Street cafe I found someone to love today I found someone to love today © 1969 Siquomb Publishing Corp.
