Dew Ledoux - Georgia Clay Lyrics

I caught a glimpse of you beneath the Southern sky
A laugh so soft it made the willows sigh.
Your touch lingered like the dew on the pines
And it stayed with me it stayed with me
I never thought love could feel so strong
But the night was young and we were holding on.
Like a melody that drifts then fades
But I'll keep you here through the songs I've made.

Like a morning rain that kissed the Georgia clay
You washed my heart took my blues away.
In my chest in my veins in a sweet refrain
But love it slips like the colors of the plains.

You moved through my world like a warm July breeze
Gentle and kind but gone with the leaves.
Your smile lit the road where the gravel turns
And I followed it though I knew it would burn.
I tried to hold you like the wind holds the rye
But some things can't stay no matter how we try.
Still every sunset paints your face
And your memory hums in this quiet space.

Like a morning rain that kissed the Georgia clay
You washed my heart took my blues away.
In my chest in my veins in a sweet refrain
But love it slips like the colors of the plains.

If I could steal the stars and hang 'em in the sky
I'd freeze this moment where your hand met mine.
But the road keeps turning and the days roll by
And the world won't wait while we ask why.
Still I carry you like a song in my soul
Every step every mile you're the half that makes me whole.

Like a morning rain that kissed the Georgia clay
You washed my heart took my blues away.
In my chest in my veins in a sweet refrain
But love it slips like the colors of the plains.

Like the morning rain...
That kissed the Georgia clay...
Love slips away...
But you'll stay in my heart... always.
