Tin Angel by Michael Nixon

Tin angel running
Trying to catch me
Tin angel coming
Never let me be
Never gonna hang me
From your bloody tree
Tin angel never ever ever
Gonna get me

Make one mistake
And you're life is done
Hiding in the shadows
From the badge and the gun
Doesn't matter to him
If I was right
Gonna cut me down
When I'm in his sights

It's not living when
You're on the run
Trying to stay alive
To see the rising sun
Lost my home
Lost my family
Lost my country
Ran across the sea

Tin angel running
Trying to catch me
Tin angel coming
Never let me be
Never gonna hang me
From your bloody tree
Tin angel never ever ever
Gonna get me

I crossed two oceans
Covered my tracks
Expecting that bullet
Pounding in my back
I made it to England
Posed as crew
Thought I'd lost him
That my running was through

But he caught me on deck
Hit me from behind
I went down hard
Lay there nearly blind
I heard his voice
As he chuckled low
You'll never be free
I'm taking you home

Tin angel running
Trying to catch me
Tin angel coming
Never let me be
Never gonna hang me
From your bloody tree
Tin angel never ever ever
Gonna get me

Then the crash came loud
And I heard him scream
And I saw the ice
Like a frozen dream
I knew I was done
And the ship was too
I laughed in his face as
The horror grew

We heard the tear
Heard twisting steel
I felt her lurch
We started to heel
We were sliding
And then we fell
And I laughed 
Tin angel we're 
Going straight to Hell

Tin angel running
Finally caught me
Tin Angel coming
But I'll still be free
We're both sinking 
In the bloody sea
Tin Angel sinking
Down to Hell with me

Tin angel running
Finally caught me
Tin Angel coming
But I'll still be free
We're both sinking 
In the bloody sea
Tin Angel sinking
Down to Hell with me
