  Why there's no justice in America

Steal away when the tide is rising
There's a promise in
Dishonest skies
And miracles on the grey horizon
If it rains today
Don't be surprised

Bleed us, then heal us
May love bind and seal us

We'll sail away when the white doves flying
There's a promise in
Dishonest skies
A flood of fire in a lost worlds dying
Will it rain today?
Don't be surprised

Take us, and break us
But please don't forsake us

We'll steal away

Speak, breathe
And move in us
Live, love,
Forgive through us

We'll steal away when the tide is rising
There's a promise in
Dishonest skies
And miracles on the lost horizon
If it rains today
Don't be surprised

Sail away where the white doves flying
Will it rain today?
Don't be surprised


This song should be playing on every radio station in the country. Folks should be singing it on Star Search and American Idol. It's beautiful. Somewhat reminiscent of Blackbird and almost as masterful. I think a lot of people would like it if they ever got the chance to hear it.

Yes...yes it should be played, treasured, and played again...

  while we are there

has anyone noticed the "sharp" note on the last chorus?
there is a guitar part that (to me) plays one note in the scale that just don't fit!
I am no scholar at musical terms , but there a walk down that is played-and in it the guitar goes...doink!
Its a beautiful, subtle, makes a dog look up and sniff the air little thing- I just wonder if I'm alone on this .

  Good call

that Steal Away is something like Blackbird. Only, I would go the entire way and say that it is indeed just AS masterful as BB.

And it's all your fault for causing me to scrutinize it in that light!
