Susannah

Susannah, there was peace between our fathers
How we ceased to be a bother
We would run together in the morning light
And separate until the cool of night
Oh my Susannah

We can throw our dreams together
Though my other wing a feather
How do you stop the lightening
In the sky and as the rains run red?
One of the reasons why, oh my Susannah

It ain't safe to stay here any more
Got to load the wagon and head up north
And rearrange their reasons in our minds
Keeping safe a way in the present times
In the present times

Susannah, there was peace between our fathers
How we ceased to be a bother
We would run together in the morning light
And separate until the cool of night
Oh my Susannah

For me there ain't no other
I swear, I swear there ain't no other
That won't stop the lightening in the sky
And as the rains run red
One of the reasons why
Oh yeah you're the light in the southern sky
Susannah
