Southern Moon Lyrics

Derek Hoke Southern Moon

Long is the green grass
Tall are the pines
How I miss the way you feel
In these arms of mine
Gotta let you know
Don't want to let you go

Sweet is the honey
Soft is the rain
Can you hear me calling
Calling out your name
Gotta let you know
Don't want to let you go

[Chorus:]
I need some cool, cool water
And some warm sunshine
Give me your lightning in a bottle
And some homemade wine
I'd take that long road to Memphis
If it brings me back to you
So shine on, southern moon

Deep is the river
And lonely are the nights
I can't have you with me
I need you by my side
Gotta let you know
I'll never let you go
[Chorus x2]
