Away From The Sky

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
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.
