| 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 |
