Somewhere South of Heaven

Somewhere South of Heaven



Somewhere south of heaven

far away from the celtic blue

eyes he left behind some seven

months ago, of love he held so true



he gazes at the stars to the north

thinks of his heart he left there behind

tonight he’ll travel back and forth

through the memories that lay on his mind



Off in the distant he see’s the big dipper

remembers how he used to watch it from her porch

back in the days of before he differed

back when in her heart she carried his torch



Perhaps things might have been different

he thinks to himself in his mind

maybe she wouldn’t be so indifferent

as today she has become so unkind



Had there not been two of him

had he only shown her the one that is real

she may have really been in love and not quick to defend

the touch that he knew she could feel



For when somewhere south of heaven

he ponders it all in his mind

he treasures his love that some seven

months ago, he somehow...left behind
