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 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 flying solo Chocks away, the engines start Crossing oceans of emotion That circumnavigate my heart Have you ever talked with someone Not recalled a single word? The gentle rhythm of the humdrum Was the only sound I heard Why was I not so astute As 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 passing Deep in the silence and the cold Sat living, breathing, drinking, laughing While Death lay sleeping in the hold Then my eyes beheld a vision A beauty 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
