Southern Skies

from Southern Skies (Album) by Pat Orchard

/

lyrics

two o'clock in the morning crawling on her knees
vixen jail bait steals her fathers keys
we roll his old truck down the back track
through the rusting gate
she slipped the key in the slot
when she felt it was safe
i felt the engine come alive
and drove on
beneath those southern skies

barefoot she led me to a secret creek
dived in naked silent and sleek
i watched her long limbs wet and glistening
as through the shadows she swims
i heard her voice in the dark call out
it's really nice when your in
so i dived deep towards her cries
and surfaced
beneath those southern skies
I surfaced.....

but the hands of time they race across this face on my wrist
and soon you'll go i know before it's late and your missed
and i will always remember the girl i met
she gave me something this heart can't forget

by the blue light of a new day
we drove on home
took the long way past the places
of where she had grown
down the avenues past the old school
i was being led
as the small town stirred
the sky was glowing red
i kissed the tears from her eyes
and left her beneath those southern
i kissed the tears from her eyes
and left her beneath those southern skies
