"Tin Can Angel" lyrics

"Tin Can Angel"

Flyin' east with the night on your heels
Cheat the time and the distance and the light
That sky ain't my friend, but I'll see her again
She's gonna hold me in her arms tonight

Send me down a tin can angel
Will she rock me on the wind?
Gonna need a tin can angel
'Cause I'll be sleepin' in the clouds again

I want your wings to carry me onward
And your halo to light my way
And your call to the maker, the giver, the taker
A petition for the words that I prayed

Send me down a tin can angel
Will she rock me on the wind?
Gonna need a tin can angel
'Cause I'll be sleepin' in the clouds again

You know where the sparrow is falling
My fear can fly no place but high
So reserve for this road-weary servant a helper
Someone from Heaven's side

Send me down a tin can angel
Will she rock me on the wind?
Gonna need a tin can angel
'Cause I'll be sleepin' in the clouds again

Oh, send me a tin can angel
Tin can angel
A tin can angel
Gonna need a tin can angel
Tin can angel
Tin can angel
Send me a tin can angel
Tin can angel
Tin can angel
A tin can angel
