Southern Winds

Dreamin' by the fire
At the Gulf of Mexico
Somebody's playin' a lovesong
With a six string homesick tone.

Memories of summer
The first time we made love
And a promise left unspoken
I saw in a shooting star.

The Southern wind was blowin'
As if he wants to say
The words I whispered in my heart
Only yesterday.

You're my only one my risin' sun
You're the air I wanna breathe
Girl you're everything I need
My shining star that's what you are
And as long my heart will beat
You'll be everything everything I need.

The fire is still burning
I was humming to the song
Couldn't think of all the words
So I made them up my own.

Like a secret door that opens
These words just set me free
And the promise left unspoken
Was the owner of the key.

Oh Southern wind keep blowin'
Please carry me back home
There's somebody who is waiting
And I've gotta let her know.

You're my only one my risin' sun
You're the air I wanna breathe
Girl you're everything I need
My shining star that's what you are
And as long my heart will beat
You'll be everything everything I need.

And when Southern Winds are blowin'
They might even bring some rain
But the promise left unspoken
Will always be the same.
