Southern Winds

Bonfire

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 hear 
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
