Away From The Sky Lyrics - Flying Cowboys - Rickie Lee Jones

For all that it cost him 

He never did complain 

The chicken headed man 

Feathering the rain 

But the last bus is tired 

And everybody's gone 

The horses are waiting 

In the middle of the lawn 

Gone for the rodeo 

Gone from the tundra, gal 

It's after the fair 

Is it bleeding out of you? 

"Come into my trailer 

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 lawn 

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 where 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
