Song for the South — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

VERSE
Baby`s livin` on from hand to mouth
She`s roamin` all alone in the deep, dark South
Her eyes are tired
An` she`s been livin` with a brain full of sunset fire too long
Babe, I wanna send this song to you
I`m hopin` what I feel will ring on through
I`ve seen the stars
An` I can see `em in a dream of where you are right now

CHORUS
Yes and time`s gonna take me back
(Yes and) time`s gonna take me back
Yes and time`s gonna take me back to you

VERSE
Baby`s got the only love I trust
She`s standin` in the rainy rust an` dust
She`s straight with me
Baby`s got my wild nighttime sea laid down
Babe, I wanna get your hand in mine
Let my little song be a screamin` sign
You are the one
An` I`ll be hangin` on to the things we done . . . meanwhile

BRIDGE
This city here kicks an` rumbles
Way on past the midnight hour
There ain`t nowhere to walk or run to get away
The world and the work`s before me
I`m caught in the plans I made up
I don`t know when, but I`ll be back to you someday

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

VERSE
Baby`s wakin` up in the delta sun
She`s wakin` up to blues an` she`s on the run
That land is old
An` it`s haunted by a ghost in the chains of gold . . . blood chains
Babe, I wanna cool you down for free
I wanna do for you what you done for me
Your eyes are tired
An` you`ve been livin` with a brain full of sunset fire too long

(REPEAT CHORUS)
