Southern Sun

In all you've seen

What was it that came down on me that night?

A conjuring

I held on to that moment

And lied just to make it alive

We sit out there in the covering

In the box, kings of the holy night

And I was lucid and conscious

And hovering like a firefly

I'm lying stretched out on the canopy

He put his arms out slow

And I heard the whispers of silence

Floating down from the radio

So come on, come on, I'm ready now

I got the feeling, honey, like I'm ready to roll

You see I'm not going to wait til the ending

Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul

I saw the light from a kettle gun

Sixteen days under a southern sun

And there were times when I thought that

I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there

You wouldn't believe me if I told you so

The things I saw were enough to make the man in me manly

Make him manly

So come on, come on, I'm ready now

Go get your things out honey, let's get ready to roll

Oh I can feel the wave coming over me

I've been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go

As a child I was wonder-eyed

At the thought that I might know

A life in the ecstasy of rock'n'roll

Now taking it slow

I'm an arrow in a bow

You think that I don't know

What it is that makes you low

So come on, come on, I'm ready now

I got the feeling, honey, like I'm ready to roll

You see I'm not gonna wait til the ending

Cause I've got the burning fire in the bed of my soul
