Oh my darling, oh my sweetness,I'm such a damn messnI could be knocked right out by the sway of your dressnBut my vision's writing cheques that My chest just can't cash,nYeah, I'm a high plains dreamer, a royal pain in the ass.nnOh my sweet sugar dumpling,What do I put you throughnAs I'm dusting for prints, yeah, on who cursed me blue?nYeah it's a roadside confession, A cry in the rainnWell me help me get up 'til the clouds roll awaynnSo gently she sways, As the support band plays.nWell me help me get up 'til the clouds roll awaynnHe needs a clean shirt and a payoff,Some place he ain't been,nWith a thundercrack for loneliness, shot from a dream.nYeah and I'll kiss you like a fugitive, And dance till you saynWell me help me get up 'til the clouds roll awaynnSo gently she sways, As the support band playsnWell me help me get up 'til the clouds roll awaynnShe turns the corner like, A priest turns the page,nEach second's breathless, Watching you playnnOh my baby, oh my sweetheart,My sweet Ruby gal,nThere's some things you should know about your old man,nHe's lost high and drifting in between the waves,nLift him with the elements then drown them againnBut your smile's his redemption,A-coolin' the flames,nHe's gonna push 'em 'til the clouds roll awaynnSo gently you sway, As the support band playsnWell me help me get up 'til the clouds roll away
