South of the City
I’ll love you wherever you go
And if ever you need me
I’ll be south of the city
That's all I am
Living east of the best
I could have been your man
But I fall between
I am them
I cherish the mornings
Of a summer breeze in spring
Of cherry pies woven
With hearts unravelled
My window is open
However far you travel
I care for my body
A product of the soil
The cardinals, my friends
They'll remain unnamed
My roots are growing
But the surroundings have changed
My roots are growing
All I am has changed
Deeply invested
To keep my heart beating
I’ll be south of the city
