Gregory Alan Isakov - Southern Star lyrics
[Gregory Alan Isakov - Southern Star lyrics]
Oh my drunken southern star
How you tried to hide in darkness
Slipped from orbit
Now you’re dangerously close
Come out, come out from all your hiding out
We’ll dig in our heels
Salute the battlefields
Where our broken hearts were born, oh
And the storm clouds are thirsty
I can see them bursting
Watch them gathering light
And the walls in the bedroom
Now are pounding out
Were we broken open baby, maybe just a crack
Swore I heard you whisper that
You preferred us like that, oh
My broken open child
Were we thirsty, thorned with wild eyes
Still, we are slaves to the
Sirens of the salty sea oh, oh, oh, oh
How you tried to hide in darkness
Slipped from orbit
Now you’re dangerously close
Come out, come out from all your hiding out
We’ll dig in our heels
Salute the battlefields
Where our broken hearts were born, oh
And the storm clouds are thirsty
I can see them bursting
Watch them gathering light
And the walls in the bedroom
Now are pounding out
Were we broken open baby, maybe just a crack
Swore I heard you whisper that
You preferred us like that, oh
My broken open child
Were we thirsty, thorned with wild eyes
Still, we are slaves to the
Sirens of the salty sea oh, oh, oh, oh
