You Am I 'Til The Clouds Roll Away song lyrics

Oh my darling, oh my sweetness, I'm such a damn mess

I could be knocked right out by the sway of your dress

But my vision's writing cheques that my chest just can't cash

Yeah, I'm a high plains dreamer, a royal pain in the ass

Oh, my sweet sugar dumpling, what do I put you through

As I'm dusting for prints, yeah, on who cursed me blue?

Yeah, it's a roadside confession, a cry in the rain

Well, me help me get up 'til the clouds roll away

So gently she sways as the support band plays

Well, me help me get up 'til the clouds roll away

He needs a clean shirt and a payoff, some place he ain't been

With a thunder crack for loneliness, shot from a dream

Yeah and I'll kiss you like a fugitive and dance till you say

Well, me help me get up 'til the clouds roll away

So gently she sways as the support band plays

Well, me help me get up 'til the clouds roll away

She turns the corner like a priest turns the page

Each second's breathless, watching you play

Oh my baby, oh my sweetheart, my sweet ruby gal

There's some things you should know about your old man

He's lost high and drifting in between the waves

Lift him with the elements then drown them again

But your smile's his redemption, a-coolin' the flames

He's gonna push 'em 'til the clouds roll away

So gently you sway as the support band plays

Well, me help me get up 'til the clouds roll away
