Somewhere south of Memphis, the night begins
I feel the shiver underneath my skin
You pull me closer with a velvet look
A perfect story in an open book
The highway traffic slowly fades away
There's nowhere else that I would rather stay
I pour a bourbon, set the glasses down
And lose my senses when you turn around
The temperature is rising, slow and sweet
I feel the rhythm of your steady heartbeat
We don't need a map to know where we should go
We're taking the long way, nice and slow
Somewhere south of Memphis, burning like a flame
The southern stars are out tonight, whispering your name
I want you closer than the midnight air
Drowning in this tender love we share
Oh, drown in the feeling, lost in the heat
Taking it slow, so slow and sweet
Your breath is warm against my collarbone
You make me thankful we are all alone
The wooden floorboards hum a country tune
We're swaying softly underneath the moon
The temperature is rising, slow and sweet
I feel the rhythm of your steady heartbeat
We're wrapped up tightly in this warm embrace
And nothing else matters in this sacred space
Somewhere south of Memphis, burning like a flame
The southern stars are out tonight, whispering your name
I want you closer than the midnight air
Drowning in this tender love we share
Oh, drown in the feeling, lost in the heat
Taking it slow, so slow and sweet
Through the silent shadows, I hear destiny call
A steady fire burning, breaking down the wall
In every heartbeat, Sayed remains
Sayed... Sayed...
An echo of the light that never wanes
The silence speaks the truth we hold so deep
A gentle rhythm that the heart will keep
Sayed... Sayed...
I never knew the dark could feel so bright...
Until I held you in the quiet of this night.
