South - Single

South


The idea for "Autumn Rain" came while lying in bed underneath a skylight. It was one of those dreary autumn days and most of the skylight was covered in wet, fallen leaves. Rain was gently tapping on the window, and the lyrics for the chorus just started to flow. I got up, grabbed my acoustic and wrote the whole song right there.


Autumn Rain

oh peach pit where'd the hours go 
when your orange skin began to glow 
from a hanging branch in gardens home 

not much is hidden underneath 
a rock heart for breaking teeth 
and apple cores cyanide seed 

it's been a long season through 
all this rotting fruit with you 
it's been a long season through 
this rotting fruit with you 

lift back and see the darkness hid 
swallowed up an angled in 
looking back at sweetness dim 

ripe june had leaf and shady friend 
the cool are is gone again

Sweet FA

Peach Pit

i say here stand i 
i can't do otherwise 
but is it enough 
and why'd you look so tough 

back at patrick park 
we stood in the dark 
in my beer stained mind 
i said please won't you be mine 

there's something dark hangin' over my head 
i'm seventeen don't hold your breath 

on the high school lot 
you'd kiss me so long 
but lessons don't last 
when i'm playing you so fast 

there's something dark hangin' over my head 
i'm seventeen don't hold your breath 

punch and first collapse 
drunk at winter dance 
looks in red dress 
oh what an awful mess

Way It Goes
