Thena Dare: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

The sweet southern voices travel through the air
Passing through the screen door, in and out and everywhere
They rest upon me like a sigh of thick summer heart
They rock me like a lullaby when I'm awake- I'm asleep

I'm gonna make a trip to Tennessee Tonight
I'm gonna close my eyes so I can see the light
And I'm gonna feel that everything is right
I'm gonna make a trip to Tennessee tonight

Resting in the shade if a weeping willow tree
I feel my father and my mother's arms are holding me
They soothe and sting my soul, and so it is their right
To offer water and a coal with which the path to light

I'm gonna make a trip to Tennessee Tonight
I'm gonna close my eyes so I can see the light
And I'm gonna feel that everything is right
I'm gonna make a trip to Tennessee tonight

I am in the right place
And I'm feeling right
I'm going where I'm gonna dream in color
Even if the feeling only lasts the night...

So a sweet Southern echo beckons in my ear, saying,
"Baby, when you wake, you come on over here"
Come without a reason, come just as you are"
Wherever you may be your home is never too far

I'm gonna make a trip to Tennessee Tonight
I'm gonna close my eyes so I can see the light
And I'm gonna feel that everything is right
I'm gonna make a trip to Tennessee tonight

I am in the right place
And I'm feeling right
I'm going where I'm gonna dream in color
Even if the feeling only lasts the night...
