Away From The Sky

Away From The Sky - Rickie Lee Jones

Written by：Rickie Lee Jones

For all that it cost him he never did complain

The chicken-headed man just feathering the rain

But the last bus is tired and everybody's gone

And the horses are waiting in the middle of the lawn

Gone from the rodeo

Gone from the tundra gal

It's after the fair that's when

I see you there

She's sleeping in the canvas the fat man hollers who

Tender is the night is it bleeding out of you

Come into my trailer and we'll toast a little bread

Oh look you've left a hole where you laid on my bed

He said

But you keep what you can keep

When you dive into the deep

There's year after frozen year

That's where I

Saved you there

Oh away from the sky oh away from the sky

Oh away from the sky oh away from the sky

But everybody's gone now

It's after the fair

And the horses are painted with the waiting of the air

You turn the carousel on

When the lights have closed down

And watch your ponies run through the middle of town

So there ya go little gal there ya go

Gone from the tundra now

It's after the fair

That's when I

Over the fences again

And the vacuums in the hall

And the planes up in the air

That's where I

Hear you best

Oh away from the sky oh away from the sky

Oh away from the sky oh away from the sky
