Southern Comfort
[Verse 1]
A shadow crossed my window
It wasn't you
It wasn't anyone I knew

[Verse 2]
A voice that said, "Forever"
It wasn't me
Or anyone that I could see

[Verse 3]
A shadow crossed my window
It wasn't you
It wasn't anyone I knew

[Verse 4]
A voice that said, "Forever"
It wasn't me
Or anyone that I could see

[Bridge 1]
Didn't hear lie, you lied didn't you?
Didn't I cry? I cried didn't I?
Couldn't be a dream, it had to be real
To make me feel like I was dyin'
[Verse 5]
It's so hard to see things clearly
When you're too close to it
And when life starts closing in
You try to make the most of it

[Verse 6]
It's not anyone that I knew
It's not you, but a voice that said, "Forever"
It's not anyone I can see
It's not me throw thе shadow across my window

[Bridge 2]

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 7]
Come a king and a queen
And a company more
Marching behind
Marching bеfore
Came a stark naked drummer
Beating his drum
With his hands in his pockets
Come a-marching along
[Verse 8]
I rode a grey horse
And you're on a mare
Grey mane and grey tail
Which drive them and back
Grey mane and grey tail
Which drive them and back
Not a hair on 'em
And wasn't pulled back
