Tin Angel Lyrics

Tom Rush Tin Angel

[Verse 1]
Varnished weeds in window jars
Tarnished beads on tapestries
Kept in satin boxes are
Reflections of love's memories

[Verse 2]
Letters from across the seas
Roses dipped in sealing wax
Valentines and maple leaves
Tucked into a paperback

[Chorus 1]
Guess I'll throw them all away
I found someone to love today

[Verse 3]
Dark with darker moods is he
Not a golden prince who's come
Through columbines and wizardry
To talk of castles in the sun

[Chorus 2]
Still I'll take a chance and see
I found someone to love today

[Verse 4]
There's a sorrow in his eyes
Like the angel made of tin
What will happen if she tries
To place another heart in him

[Chorus 3]
In a Bleecker Street café
She found someone to love today
She found someone to love today
