Lyric 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
