Tin Angel - Joni Mitchell

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 Bleecker Street cafe

I found someone to love today

I found someone to love today
