Back In Baby’s Arms Lyrics by Allen Toussaint

Southern Nights

0

There's a long, long swim
And the water's deep
To reality
It's hard to reach
It's a long, hard climb
And the mountain's high
For understanding
They touch the sky
And I want to be
What's fair to you and me
We may not please the world
But deep inside of me
When my heart says it's right
I don't put up a fight
(Don't hide the light that shows the way)
(Don't try to fight what's here to stay)
It's a long, long walk
And the road is rough
To make it on your own
Means so much
The movie may be right
But the cast is wrong
When every trip you take
You take alone
And I want to see
The part with you and me
When love is the power
Like the waves out on the sea
(I'm back in baby's arms)
(Yes, I'm back in baby's arms) For your love
(I'm back in baby's arms) For more love
(Yes, I'm back in baby's arms)
Some hold all the money
Others wanna conquer space
But without love
It's just a waste
A kind word spoken
Through silent eyes, that's true
Makes nothing in the universe
Attract me more than you
And I want to do
Much more than look at you
I want to see the beauty
Down inside and pouring through
(I'm back in baby's arms)
(Yes, I'm back in baby's arms) For your love
(I'm back in baby's arms) For more love
(Yes, I'm back in baby's arms)
