Feel the southern breezes

and the southern wind

Blowing down around this

dying land (from the booklet, the song is something different)

D'Agostino's late last night I saw

A boy fifteen on the road

With nothing in the pocket

his head to sky nowhere else to go

Can you see it

or believe it

To send the corner man

He's never been

Come with me

I'll show you where the

Dogwoods bloom it's true

lost and found and lost again

to the Honeysuckle blue

Running through these caverns of gold

Runs a river of death indeed

an old hotel serves as a shelter

for the children of the street

abandoned by the promised land

set sail on your own

how much longer will the well

be dry for those who roam

I got a ticket

in my pocket

to send the corner man

He's never been

Have you ever seen the

Blue Ridge mountains boy

or the Chatahootchee

or the honeysuckle blue

Call me to the promised land

Stand outside to understand

Far too close to see things through

Once on edge and once removed

Call me to the promised land and roll me down the road

Run down and leave me lying on the road alone

If you got time I'll take you through the times of love and war

Stand by my side and let it all run out to roar?

Well I got a dream and I got a love by it's standing far too low

And I got something to know again and its all bound by law

Well I'm bound by law you running for and holding me all alone

lost and found and lost again to the Honeysuckle blue
