Southern Beasts
Cam-Asher Bond
In the warm embrace of the summer days
When your eyes rose up and you met my gaze
And we danced until stars filled the sky
The lights burned out but our love shined bright
Falls, they came a pouring down
Like a cold hard rain when it hits the ground
All the same we never made a sound
Lay you down without a whisper’d shout
Oh it’s a sunburn saga and a kiss of a lifetime
The burning of a southern setting sun
With every breath you take, oh it steals from mine
I’ll never shake the ringing of your tongue
All the Western heads, now they’re looking East
Vivacious lives of these southern beasts
Salty leave of the coastal breeze
Darling pack your bags, you’re coming home with me.
