Headed South

You want to find me
You’ll find me gone
Forgive my timing
It’s always wrong
You’ve lived your life without me
You’ll get along
I’ve lived my life without you
I’ll carry on
I know there’s only one way
To get us out of this mess
Send it on in a song
Get it gone
When the light I hold for strangers
Only burns its best
From the depths of my mouth
And I’m headed South
Delta wind come blowing
Just for us
Shooting stars come showing
Celestial trust
Delta moon come hanging
Her curved spine
In a sky the color
Of dark melon rind
One day you’ll know mr only
As a figure from the past
Somewhere lost
Between songs
Dead and gone
The only way you’ll know me
Is the shadow that I cast
When the sun goes down
The moon come out
And I’m headed South
