Tin Angel Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

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
