Spanish Moss

Rollin' down the sunbeams
Burnin' in the wind
Her hair hung like a sacrament
Our bodies to begin
Spanish moss was a’droppin' down
Just to touch her shinin' skin
And I felt just like a lover
When she asked me to come in
She showed me her possession
Of animals and glass
She said that her body was ended
But I’m a man and I never asked
Laughin' in the cradle
Held there by the past
Her eyes were like some river
Without a shadow cast
Then she opened the picture
Of Lucifer in chains
She said you got no idea
How to feel each time it rains
People on the sidewalk
They don’t even know my name
Still I live with my confessions
I expect you do the same
I don’t envy your position
You know the shark goes where he’ll please
Many a’net has been broken
In the arms of the open sea
And if you had the time, you know
You could rock me on the deep
'cause I know that you’re not some stranger
From the cities of my sleep
Rollin' down the sunbeams
Burning in the wind
Her hair hung like a sacrament
Our bodies to begin
Spanish moss was a’droppin' down
Just to touch her shinin' skin
And I felt just like some lover
When she asked me to come in
Yes, I felt just like a lover
When she asked me to come in
