The air is hot beneath
The melancholy sun
Is hanging low beneath the blue
The wind is dancing about
And then the stars come out
Reminding me of you
So I sit, and I stare for a little while
Just counting all the shooting stars as they pass me by
Finding comfort in the dark
And the beating of your heart
Like a drum
In my southern lullaby
Sing me to sleep as I
Gaze into the night
Pull a blanket over truth
Staring through the folds of time
That's where our worlds collide
in the spotlight of the moon
So I sit, and I stare for a little while
Just counting all the shooting stars as they pass me by
Finding comfort in the dark
And the beating of your heart
Like a drum
In my southern lullaby
