Lyrics

The fire’s burning bright and my thoughts are drifting skyward
They fly into the winter night like a friend I once knew
Many times I’ve tried but I never could quite reach him
I hear he’s gone and married now, a pretty girl dressed in blue


The curious mind of a south country boy
He’s searching for treasures few can enjoy
Rain on time roofs, sleeping bags, all night loving
A little time alone, it’s a lesson for learning


Early morning comes and the rain has left the forest
And moved on to another place far out at sea
The sun finds its way and the birds announce its dawning
Life is so different here, like a child running free


The curious mind of a south country boy
He’s searching for treasures few can enjoy
Rain on time roofs, sleeping bags, all night loving
A little time alone, it’s a lesson for learning


The shadows come drifting like a curtain in my window
The silence sings me love songs like she sang so dreamily
The time is all mine as the evening falls around me
I know where I want to be and the way I want to go


The curious mind of a south country boy
He’s searching for treasures few can enjoy
Rain on time roofs, sleeping bags, all night loving
A little time alone, it’s a lesson for learning
