Lyrics
SOUTHERN STARS.


I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the last time I saw you
Your hills painted in that winter green.
The final sunset’s clear in my memory
Could you ever kiss my soul again?

The light of the southern stars will guide me back to you
By body or by spirit if it’s the last thing I ever do.
I dream of your silver shores, it don’t matter just how far
I’ll return to you once more by the light of the southern stars.

Could I ever really forsake you?
Or are you some lost far-flung dream?

Sometimes I feel lost alone and weary
Haunted by the ghosts of what I had.
Burnin’ on a hot-plate of self pity
Devoid of strength to do all that I can….to follow….

cool, the folk rock influence of decades past is very cool, that jangly guitar approach brought back lots of great memories, when the lyrics had a meaning that left the listener lots of room to gather a meaning...

Cool & catchy
Very nice, smooth-flowing with a pleasant beat & harmonies. Your voice carries a glimpse of Tom Petty. Cheers / Mike
