Lyrics
Surrender to your fears now
When you hold them in your arms you will remember
The feeling that seemed so distant like a memory faded pale and soft and grey
Beneath the moonlight up above you let it sooth you and consume you
When you look up don’t forget it
May you never ever fret it
I will be here now and always
If you remember
To surrender.
I’m leaving Dallas first thing in the morning.
I’ll take that road back to New Orleans
To see my very own, Sarah Anna.
She waits for me beneath the live oak leaves.
I wanna hold her tightly in the moonlight.
Outside our home just off of Orleans St.
Does she miss me?
Does she need me?
Has she been seeing me in her dreams?
I’m making my way home to Louisiana.
Amongst the cane I’d like to groove with you.
I wanna drip like thick and slow molasses
And taste that bitter sweet that’s made for two.
I’m driving fast to see you Sarah Anna.
Red clay and pines fade in my rear view.
Do you miss me?
Do you need me?
Have you been seeing me in your dreams?
I wanna pull you closer Sarah Anna
Like when I get turned on by the rain.
We softly lay and hear the pitter patter
As the southern moon slowly starts to wane.
Because I missed you.
Yes I need you.
Because I want you.
I feel you.
And I’ve been seeing you in my dreams.
