Somewhere South of Paradise

Ripples in the water soothe my soul
Slowing my heartbeat, restoring control
I watch the sunlight dance
From the safety of the shade
As above me
The sound of the passing train starts to fade

Here by the riverside
My somewhere south of paradise indeed
Here in my solitude
I am safe to stay and brood freely
Here by the riverside
My somewhere south of paradise now leave me

Now the rushing of the water
Is all I can hear
And in the cool summer air
Everything seems clear
As the sun drifts behind the clouds
I no longer feel any doubt

Here by the riverside
My somewhere south of paradise indeed
Here in my solitude
I am safe to stay and brood freely
Here by the riverside
My some south of paradise now leave me
Leave me oh-oh

Here on my island in the river under the tallest tree
No one comes here so no one bothers me
The trees shower leaves down on my head
And the birds nest in the bridge overhead
And the trees bend down to kiss the water hello
So let me go, let me go, let me go

Here by the riverside
My somewhere south of paradise indeed
Here in my solitude
I am safe to stay and brood freely
Here by the riverside
My some south of paradise now leave me
Leave me oh-oh
Here by the riverside
My somewhere south of paradise
