Southern Sun

In all you've seen

Was it that came down on me that night

A conjuring, I held on to that moment and lie

Just to make it alive

I stood out there in the covering

In the baskings of a holy night

Oh I was lucid and conscious

And hovering like a firefly

My mind stretched out on the canopy

It put its arms out slow

I heard the whispers of silence

Floating down from the radio

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

I got that feeling honey like I'm ready to roll

You see I'm not gonna wait till the end of me

'Cos 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

A man of me, make a man of me

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 a 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

Oh I'm not taking it slow

I'm an arrow in a bow

Oh you think that I don't know

What it is that makes it glow

So come, come on, I'm ready now

I got that feeling honey like I'm ready to roll

You see I'm not gonna wait till the end of me

'Cos I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul
