Jackson C. Frank — Spanish Moss

Rollin' down the sunbeams Burnin' in the wind Her hair hung like a sacrament Our bodies to begin Spanish moss was a'droppin' down Just to touch her shinin' skin And I felt just like a lover When she asked me to come in She showed me her possession Of animals and glass She said that her body was ended But I'm a man and I never asked Laughin' in the cradle Held there by the past Her eyes were like some river Without a shadow cast Then she opened the picture Of Lucifer in chains She said you got no idea How to feel each time it rains People on the sidewalk They don't even know my name Still I live with my confessions I expect you do the same I don't envy your position You know the shark goes where he'll please Many a'net has been broken In the arms of the open sea And if you had the time, you know You could rock me on the deep 'cause I know that you're not some stranger From the cities of my sleep Rollin' down the sunbeams Burning in the wind Her hair hung like a sacrament Our bodies to begin Spanish moss was a'droppin' down Just to touch her shinin' skin And I felt just like some lover When she asked me to come in Yes, I felt just like a lover When she asked me to come in
