A bluestrack with a melancholy vibe. This song is about loss, depression, and resignation.

Lyrics:
They’ll be a veil over the moon tonight
‘Cuz my honey stole my money and left me with a dose of Dream

Sweet morphine, won’t you take your time
Turn my trouble into rubble and load it on a southbound cloud

Sail on, southbound cloud
Sail on, southbound cloud

Dry, red wine used to ease my pain
But the burnin’ keeps returnin’— time has come to rest in peace

BREAK

Sail on, southbound cloud
Sail on, southbound cloud

Sweet morphine, won’t you take your time
Turn my trouble into rubble and load it on a southbound cloud
Sail on, southbound cloud
Sail on, southbound cloud

Southbound Cloud

Songwriter since 1966. Can't believe I still have to write protest songs. Prefer writing love songs and songs of praise for stand-up women and men, parodies, lyrical nonsense, blues and adaptations.
