Mark Heard Another Day In Limbo
[Verse 1]
Pray for the foothills
Home to the drones of the power lines and rock doves
Mountains grey as velvet
Field for dots of yucca, white and jacarandas
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Facing the sky as the day burns away is a desert in mourning
Sheltering the dead stones
Cradle of the lost bones
Home of eternal comings and goings
[Chorus]
Blinking away the sunrise
Listening to the wind blow
Angels with dirty faces face another day in limbo
Beckoning fire from Heaven
When everything seems so stone-cold
Beating the drums of change
Another day in limbo
[Verse 2]
Pray for the foothills
Goatherds and windmills and satellite dishes
Petroglyph talkers meet iron-willed walkers who grant them no wishes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Shaking a fist at the air seems to bring on a blackening sky
In the crackling of embers
Old men remember
Walking in beauty in the dawns of their lives
[Chorus]
Blinking away the sunrise
Listening to the wind blow
Angels with dirty faces face another day in limbo
Beckoning fire from Heaven
When everything seems so stone-cold
Beating the drums of change
Another day in limbo
Hey hey hey hey
[Verse 3]
Pray for the foothills
Iron horse with four wheels bucks a drunken rider
Pawns of the porn kings
Corn-silk of heartstrings tattered and blighted
[Pre-Chorus 3]
They sing in the sand for the son of the land
Who sought fire in water
Faith like a kernel rising up in thermals
Hope springs eternal once in awhile
[Chorus]
Blinking away the sunrise
Listening to the wind blow
Angels with dirty faces face another day in limbo
Beckoning fire from Heaven
When everything seems so stone-cold
Beating the drums of change
Another day in limbo
Blinking away the sunrise
Listening to the wind blow
Angels with dirty faces face another day in limbo
Beckoning fire from Heaven
When everything seems so stone-cold
Beating the drums of change
Another day in limbo
Hey hey hey yeah
