My Own Prison

Angel came down from heaven yesterday,
Stayed with me just long enough
For afternoon tea
And she told me a story yesterday;
About the sweet love between
The moon and the deep blue sea.

And when it was time for her to go
She spread her wings high over me.
And she said "I shall return tomorrow"

And I said "fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Tomorrow I look for you by my side"

If sure enough,
This morning comes to me.
With silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And as the blue birds and sparrows envy me
She says "I love you little boy but today you shall fly"

She kissed me once
And the feeling's so good she made me cry
And now we can fly together.

And I say "Fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel...
Together we shall always be high"

-Jimi Hendrix
