The Trail Of The Grievous Angel
Mick Brady
Meet me tonight at the High Desert Motel
Ill be there around sundown when the sky is burning red
I'll see you out in the parking lot on Highway 62
Well set out on the trail of The Grievous Angel
I'm gonna load this pick-up truck, take off into the hills
Watch a thousand stars come out, feel the desert chill
Light up a campfire by some dried-up river bed
Sing a verse of Hickory Wind (in my) head
He was just a southern boy, his home town couldn't give him enough
Headed out to California, he was always gonna push his luck
In his hour of darkness the desert gave him what hed need
The little town of Yucca Valley was where it was gonna lead
Hed come to the end of the trail - The Grievous Angel
Must be about a million miles between this desert town and Sin City
But theres a good saloon where all the fallen angels still look pretty
You can hang out on your back porch, you can hang out on the 31st floor
(makes no) difference when the man knocks on your door
Ill be there around sundown when the sky is burning red
I'll see you out in the parking lot on Highway 62
Well set out on the trail of The Grievous Angel
