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