[Lyrics: Martin Walkyier]
[Music: Steve Ramsey]
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 pa**ing,
Deep in the silence and the cold.
Sat living, breathing, drinking, laughing -
While d**h 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.
