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
