Come with me in the southern heat Where the mind recalls the fever of a gypsy queen Spilling rum from plastic cups Getting lit beneath the balconies in the delta sun I've known love as a fleeting beauty lost upon the young If you saw my mind, hit the high just like I planned it Driven low and lost and stranded With the fear of another year ♪ You're driving down to my house 'cross town Where the floorboards creak, the heatpipes speak The walls could shout You're looking thin and you look tired Wanna do it like we used to but there's no second try I've known love as a fleeting beauty lost upon the young If you saw my mind, hit the high just like I planned it Driven low and lost and stranded With the fear of another year Of feeling less each day ♪ Have we fallen asleep? Drifting in the fog of the American dream For a love so true It don't scream it don't kick like the television said it should do
