This Far South Songtext
von Tommy Prine

You remind me of every single dogwood tree
When I tried to reach out, I never see you this far south no more

I can′t seem to be any less than all of me
But that won't work out if words can′t fall out my mouth no more

Angel, walk me through your garden, won't you please again?


The nerves inside my heart in Germantown tonight
I'm learning that it′s not good to fly
I′ve chosen the habit that I'm dropping
Coming down′s exhausting
I think I need some help

Turn me over if sand could rise when we grow old
Then I would try to hold your hand a little slower

Angel, walk me through your garden and your trees
But please don't reach out, ′cause I won't be this far south again

The nerves inside my heart in Germantown tonight
I′m learning that it's not good to fly
I've chosen the habit that I′m dropping
Coming down′s exhausting
I think I deserve some rest
