Southern Winds - Bonfire

Dreamin' by the fire

At the Gulf of Mexico

Somebody’s playin' a lovesong

With a six string homesick tone

Memories of summer

The first time we made love

And a promise left unspoken

I saw in a shooting star

The Southern wind was blowin'

As if he wants to say

The words I whispered in my heart

Only yesterday

You’re my only one — my risin' sun

You’re the air I wanna breathe

Girl you’re everything I need

My shining star — that’s what you are

And as long my heart will beat

You’ll be everything — everything I need

The fire is still burning

I was humming to the song

Couldn’t think of all the words

So I made them up my own

Like a secret door that opens

These words just set me free

And the promise left unspoken

Was the owner of the key

Oh Southern wind keep blowin'

Please carry me back home

There’s somebody who is waiting

And I’ve gotta let her know

You’re my only one — my risin' sun

You’re the air I wanna breathe

Girl you’re everything I need

My shining star — that’s what you are

And as long my heart will beat

You’ll be everything — everything I need

And when Southern Winds are blowin'

They might even bring some rain

But the promise left unspoken

Will always be the same
