Adrian Niles Band - Skylark lyrics

rate me

Leaving a trail of dust on a blacktop road*

Keeping my four wheels rolling while my eyes are closed

Turning my brain on high when the knowing silence speaks

Stuffing my dreams in a pocket that seldom keeps

Where's that song that makes it all alright?

For the ramble worn soul in me

Blood on a rusted blade, a howling harkens in the distance

I've been a thief, I've been a junkie standing with the resistance

With a bottle of poison and the night deserted black

My rearview reflects the love that been held back

Where's that song that makes it all alright

A strong wind to come and carry me

[Chorus:]

An angel perched upon my dirty hood

Broken horizons hungry lying stark

Keep me movin' along and I guess I should..skylark

When the soul goes missing and your eyes go blind

To the love we squandered along a cold hard line

With my battered back turn toward goodness

And a righteous heart turned to stone

Where's that song that makes it all alright

For the ramble worn soul in me…

[Repeat Chorus:]
