Blue Sky Song Lyrics - Live In Tangiers: The Acoustic Shows - Michael Stanley

The ties that bind 

unravelled on an August night 

She left his tired love behind, 

in a laundromat, in black and white 

The powers that be 

decided it was time to let him go 

And he went rolling like a tumbleweed 

across the desert of New Mexico... 

And he goes... 

chasing the angel of the blue sky 

And he knows... 

she will be waiting for him there 

And he sees... 

his faithful angel of the blue sky 

Waiting in the firmament somewhere... 

His Dodge gave out, 

he stepped into a crowded local bar 

He hitched a ride to Abilene, 

and wondered how he'd come so far 

The signs they came, 

the rain fell like a baby's newborn tears 

He stood out on the open plain, 

and felt her hovering so near... 

And he goes... 

chasing the angel of the blue sky 

And he knows... 

she will be waiting for him there 

And he sees... 

his faithful angel of the blue sky 

Waiting in the firmament somewhere... 

All that time it was not wasted 

It was the way it had to be 

Whatever sorrow that he tasted 

set him free... 

A clear blue sky, 

he smiles to think she's waiting close at hand 

He sets his wet clothes out to dry, 

and heads out for the promised land 

And come what may, 

and come whatever makes the world go 'round 

He close his eyes up half the day, 

and listens for her healing sound... 

And he goes... 

chasing the angel of the blue sky 

And he knows... 

she will be waiting for him there 

And he sees... 

his faithful angel of the blue sky 

Waiting in the firmament somewhere...
