Southern Star

I see her climbin' my fence
She's throwin' stones up at my window
She loves the midnight hour
She wants to play and that's all I need to know

I opened the door to the back porch
Barefoot on the cold floor
Didn't know where she was comin' from
But that's what I'm goin' for

And it seems like the sun never goes down
When the daylight fades on this side of town
And we're dancin' around under the southern stars

And it feels like there's nothin' but wide open sky
When you're spreadin' your wings and learnin' to fly
And you get so high, you can't forget where you are

I can't come down, I've gone too far
Wishing on a southern star

We'd take the long way home
That's where you find your dreams come true
Lyin' under the falling leaves
That's when you change your point of view

I fell in love that summer
And I tried to tell her
But just try to catch an eagle
Like you could ever

And it seems like the sun never goes down
When the daylight fades on this side of town
And we're dancin' around under the southern stars

And it feels like there's nothin' but wide open sky
When you're spreadin' your wings and learnin' to fly
And you get so high, you can forget where you are

And I can't come down, I've gone too far
Wishin' on a southern star

Yeah, and it seems like the sun never goes down
When the daylight fades on this side of town
And we're dancin' around under the southern stars

I can't come down, I've gone too far
Wishin' on my southern star
My southern star
