The ties that bind unravelled on an August night
|
She left his tired love behind, in a laundromat, in black and white
|
The powers that be decided it was time to let him go
|
So he went rolling like a tumbleweed across the desert of New Mexico
|
|
And he goes chasing the angel of the blue sky
|
And he knows she will be waiting for him there
|
And he sees his faithful angel of the blue sky
|
Floating in the firmament somewhere
|
|
His Dodge gave out, he stepped into a crowded local bar
|
He hitched a ride to Abilene, and wondered how he'd come so far
|
The signs they came, the rain fell like a baby's newborn tears
|
He stood out on the open plain, and felt her hovering so near
|
|
And he goes...
|
|
All that time it was not wasted
|
It was the way it had to be
|
Whatever sorrow that he tasted set him free
|
Clear blue sky, he smiles to think she's waiting close at hand
|
He sets his wet clothes out to dry, then trudges toward the promised land
|
Come what may, come whatever makes the world go 'round
|
He close his eyes up half the day, and listens for her healing sound
|
|
And he goes...
