Blue Sky Song
--words and music by Bill Deasy

from "Live in Tangiers: The Acoustic Shows [Disc 2]" - 1998, Razor and Tie Entertainment


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...
