'Til The Clouds Roll Away

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 'til the clouds roll away
So gently she sways, As the support band plays
Well me help me get up 'til 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 'til the clouds roll away
So gently she sways, As the support band plays
Well me help me get up 'til 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 'til the clouds roll away
So gently you sway, As the support band plays
Well me help me get up 'til the clouds roll away
