Nino Ferrer - South Lyrics

Between the big trees
The flowers and the green grass
The house is there

It's white and brown
And covered with green vine
Which looks like hair

We call it the south
'Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years

And we like to stay there

So many children are playing in the garden
So many dogs
There is a cat, and a turtle, and an old well
But not a frog

We call it the south
'Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years

And we like to stay there

Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

I know one day I'll have to leave the sweet life
Back to the dark
Don't really care but they won't ask my opinion
As a matter of fact

I hope it's the south
'Cause time is so long there
That life sure will take us
More than a million years

And we like to stay there
