  Southern  nights.
  Have  you ever felt a southern  night?
  Free  as a breeze, not to mention the trees,
  Whistling tunes  that you knew, and loved so.
 Verse II.
  Southern  nights.
  Just  as good even when, closed  your eyes,
  I  apologise... to anyone  who can truely say,
  That he has found  a better way... hey.
 Verse III.
  Southern  skies.
  Have  you ever noticed, southern  skies?
  Well  it's precious beauty lies, just beyond the eye.
  It goes running  through your soul,
  Like the stories  of old.
 Verse IV.
  Old  man.
  He  and his dog that walk the, old  land.
  Every flower  touched his cold hand.
  As he slowly  walked by weeping willows,
  Would  cry for you, joy, joy.
 Verse V.
  Feels  so good.
  Feels  so good it's frightening.
  Wish  I could, stop this world from fighting.
  La,  da, da, da,  da, da.
  La,  da, da, da,  da, da.
  Da,  da, da, da,  da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
 Verse VI.
  Mystery, like  this and many others in  the trees.
  Blow  in the night, in the southern  skies.
 Verse VII.
  Southern  nights.
  They  feel so good, it's frightening.
  Wish  I could, stop this world from fighting.
  La,  da, da, da,  da, da.
  La,  da, da, da,  da, da.
  Da,  da, da, da,  da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
