oh my darling
oh my sweetness
i'm such a damn mess
i could be knocked right out by the sway of your dress
but my vision's writing cheques that my chest just can't cash
yeah
i'm a high plains dreamer
a royal pain in the ass
oh my sweet sugar dumpling
what do i put you through
as i'm dusting for prints
yeah
on who cursed me blue?
yeah
it's a roadside confession
a cry in the rain
well
me help me get up till the clouds roll away
so gently she sways
as the support band plays
well
me help me get up till the clouds roll away
he needs a clean shirt and a payoff
some place he ain't been
with a thundercrack for loneliness
shot from a dream
yeah
and i'll kiss you like a fugitive
and dance till you say
well
me help me get up till the clouds roll away
so gently she sways
as the support band plays
well
me help me get up till the clouds roll away
she turns the corner like
a priest turns the page
each second's breathless
watching you play
oh my baby
oh my sweetheart
my sweet ruby gal
there's some things you should know about your old man
he's lost high and drifting in between the waves
lift him with the elements then drown them again
but your smile's his redemption
a-coolin' the flames
he's gonna push 'em till the clouds roll away
so gently you sway
as the support band plays
well
me help me get up till the clouds roll away
