Lyrics

Southern Exposure (Tani) Southern exposure. I need closure I sailed this ship all over the world From the deck of this bar I roamed near and far Looking for a place to unfurl It's a long summer night. The sun's dim light sits low in the northern sky It streams in the window, warm golden yellow It's midnight on the fourth of July It's months since I got here. The plan is still unclear No rudder but I've plenty of sail The temperature's lonely. It's and measured in only degrees of translucent to pale I'm dreading the sunset. It looms like an old debt. I can't avoid and long past due When night falls the stars rise, and light up the dark skies But stars just make me think about home - home and you You were the star to guide me back But when I scan the evening sky Where you once were is empty black And such a lonely fool am I I'm alright without a home I'll keep busy -I'll make do In the day I'm just alone but at night I'm without you The sun's my companion. Lighting a canyon -carved deep by a river of love Once overflowing, the riverbed's showing -it must Look pretty sad from above But I was looking for a place where the sun never sets, so I'd never have to face Another night with my regrets I'm alright without a home I stay busy -I'll get through In the day I'm just alone but at night I'm without you In the day I'm just alone but at night I'm without you Southern exposure. I need closure.
