Boy & Bear - Southern Sun Lyrics






In all you've seen
Was it that came down on me that night
A conjuring, I held on to that moment and lie
Just to make it alive

I stood out there in the covering
In the baskings of a holy night
Oh I was lucid and conscious
And hovering like a firefly

My mind stretched out on the canopy
It put its arms out slow
I heard the whispers of silence
Floating down from the radio

So come on, come on, I'm ready now
I got that feeling honey like I'm ready to roll
You see I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
'Cos I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul

I saw the light from a kettle gun
Sixteen days under a southern sun
And there were times when I thought that
I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there

You wouldn't believe me if I told you so
The things I saw, were enough to make the man in me
A man of me, make a man of me

So come on, come on, I'm ready now
Go get your things out honey let's get ready to roll
Oh I can feel a wave coming over me
I've been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go

As a child I was wonder eyed
At the thought that I might know
A life in the ecstasy of Rock n' Roll

Oh I'm not taking it slow
I'm an arrow in a bow
Oh you think that I don't know
What it is that makes it glow

So come, come on, I'm ready now
I got that feeling honey like I'm ready to roll
You see I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
'Cos I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul

  1. T.... G....

    80's big hair rock bands is my favourite music . I don't like much modern music but this song is catchy!

  2. s.... ....

    Bro looks like Tom Hanks lost son lol

  3. t.... h....

    God I love this f&^%ing song! I heard it when it came out and just dropped in on it again and it still rocks.

  4. M.... B....

    Looks like Torlesse/Tussocklands area!

  5. B.... C....

    Every band has a leader.

  6. I.... D....

    Anyone listening in 2019?

  7. A.... Y....

    I work part time at a Goodwill. That is where i discovered this song, over the radio there. I can be in the worst pissy mood and this will come on and ill instantly smile.

    Happened today.

  8. D.... L....

    I LOVE THIS SONG lllll if you enjoy camping and geting away

  9. S.... 4....

    Sick song

  10. K.... ....

    My first major crush told me to check out this song, amidst all the times I told her to check out music I liked.
    That was over 5 years ago. I honestly didn't think I'd like it that much (I guess back then I assumed most of my friends had a crap taste in music), but instead I was pleasantly surprised. And after recently rediscovering it, I can say this song will have a special place in my heart. It also reminds me how much I miss her.

  11. 1.... ....

    I first heard this one year ago in Shake Shack in Dubai where I was with my son for my 50th....it's class.

  12. E.... F....

    F ck I love this song.....

    I hear so many bands within this band and sounds and instruments played like the late 80's and early 90's Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, Icehouse.
    Great tune

  14. C.... C....

    Beautiful tune put together Guys 🖖🤘👍

  15. R.... M....

    Somehow this gem reminds me of , or sounds like (guitar chorus?) Silver Stallion by The Highwaymen (Kristofferson, Cash, Jennings, & Willie Nelson). YouTube it.

    LYRICS:

    In all you'll see
    What was it that came down on me that night
    A conjuring, I held on to that moment
    And lie just to make it alive.

    I stood out there in the covering
    In the baskings of a holy night
    And I was lucid and conscious
    And hovering like a firefly
    My mind stretched out on the canopy
    It put its arms out slow
    And I heard the whispers of silence floating down from the radio

    So come on, come on I'm ready now
    I got the feeling honey like I'm ready to roll
    You see I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
    'Cause I got the burning fire in bed of my soul.

    I saw the light from a kettle gun
    Sixteen days under a Southern Sun
    And there were times when I thought that
    I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there
    You wouldn't believe me if I told you so

    A man in me, make a man of me

    O-oh-oh i'm not taking it slow
    I'm an arrow in a bow
    You think that I don't know, what it is that makes me glow

    So come on, come on I'm ready now
    I got the feeling honey like I'm ready to roll

    'Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul.
