Southern Lullaby

The air is hot beneath
The melancholy sun
Is hanging low beneath the blue
The wind is dancing about
And then the stars come out
Reminding me of you

So I sit, and I stare for a little while
Just counting all the shooting stars as they pass me by
Finding comfort in the dark
And the beating of your heart
Like a drum
In my southern lullaby

Sing me to sleep as I
Gaze into the night
Pull a blanket over truth
Staring through the folds of time
That's where our worlds collide
in the spotlight of the moon

So I sit, and I stare for a little while
Just counting all the shooting stars as they pass me by
Finding comfort in the dark
And the beating of your heart
Like a drum
In my southern lullaby
