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
