Spanish Moss - Jackson C. Frank

Rollin' down the sunbeams

Burnin' in the wind

Her hair hung like a sacrament

Our bodies to begin

Spanish moss was a’droppin' down

Just to touch her shinin' skin

And I felt just like a lover

When she asked me to come in

She showed me her possession

Of animals and glass

She said that her body was ended

But I’m a man and I never asked

Laughin' in the cradle

Held there by the past

Her eyes were like some river

Without a shadow cast

Then she opened the picture

Of Lucifer in chains

She said you got no idea

How to feel each time it rains

People on the sidewalk

They don’t even know my name

Still I live with my confessions

I expect you do the same

I don’t envy your position

You know the shark goes where he’ll please

Many a’net has been broken

In the arms of the open sea

And if you had the time, you know

You could rock me on the deep

'cause I know that you’re not some stranger

From the cities of my sleep

Rollin' down the sunbeams

Burning in the wind

Her hair hung like a sacrament

Our bodies to begin

Spanish moss was a’droppin' down

Just to touch her shinin' skin

And I felt just like some lover

When she asked me to come in

Yes, I felt just like a lover

When she asked me to come in
