Southern Melancholy

LETRA

Southern Melancholy

Consider me tamed 
A life of disappointment and heartache sustains a southern melancholy like blood on the brain
A shadow on my soul that’s so hard to lose, so hard to lose 
And when old eyes bruise,
 
Oh Baby, it’s you who stays fast as I am listing 
My heart it sings true, but melodies go missing and sadness seeps through
A hand upon my shoulder that’s so hard to move, so hard to move 
And when old wounds tear, oh Baby what’s there? 
 
Where angels collide, in danger I dwell 
Stay by my side, don’t leave me in peril 
Who’ll be my guide when the sunlight fails? 
Oh mercy, I’m tired, drunk on despair 
Hope has expired, beyond repair 
Who’ll save the night when the sunlight fails and darkness prevails?
