Anthony D’Amato - Southern Stars lyrics

I've been quiet for so long I've
Forgot how to make a sound
I've been dyin' to show off
But my feet won't leave the ground
They've been planted in the soil like
The roots of a tree

I'm pacin', I'm an actress
Spent a lifetime time in the wings
I've been tracin' on a mattress where
Your body touched the springs
I'm searchin' for a reason
To forget your name
Been waitin' all season like a hurricane

'Cause, oh
Southern stars still shine in your eyes
I see the light of the southern stars tonight
In the mornin'
When the fire goes out in dead cold
All the ashes of the night blow
In the alleys of my song

I've got nothin' I could offer
But a pretty please

'Cause, oh
Southern stars still shine in your eyes
I see the light of the southern
Stars tonight in your eyes
I see the light of the southern stars tonight

That breaks your back, rips you in half

I've been quiet for so long I've
Forgot how to make a sound
I've been dyin' to show off
But my feet won't leave the ground
They've been planted in the soil like
The roots of a tree
There's nothin' I could offer but
A pretty, pretty, pretty please

Oh, southern stars still shine in your eyes
I see the light of the southern
Stars tonight in your eyes
I see the light of
The southern stars tonight, oh
