RyanTurtle Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Um...yeah...this is something I just wrote durring study hall...so yuh...um...it's actually autobiographical...except for the fact that I'm not from the south... Sweet, Southern Woods By: Jimmy Jazz Walked into the woods, hoping never to come back Never planning on seeing sun again Hoping to be swallowed by our Mother Earth To be washed to oblivion by the falling rain Sweet southern woods, sing me to sleep Warm mountain rain, mask all of my tears Cold endless night, hide me from my life May I never see the sun again Found a fallen tree at the top of a hill I climbed to take away my memories Heard a voice call my name, calling from on high Lord, I’m not too young to die Sweet, Southern woods sing me to sleep Warm mountain rain mask all of my tears Cold endless night, hide me from myself My I never see the sun again Why have you forsaken me Lord? Why have you left me lost What is left to live for, Lord? Why am I still here? I asked him for a sign, anything will do Wanted to see some proof that he was even there I found it down below me, at the bottom of that hill In the warm, loving eyes of a deer Sweet, Southern woods save me from sleep Warm, mountain rain take away my tears Old endless night, help me find myself My I live to see the sun again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
