Yankee
JESSE HARRIS
Yankee
Suffering southern heat
But not for long
Be kind
Tell me what's on your mind
Before you're gone
Why are you flying home so soon
To the cold white northern moon?
Yankee
Falling into the sea
What will you do?
Be strong
Tell me is something wrong
But tell me true
Are you tired of lying in the shade
Waiting for the sun to fade?
Yankee
Stay with me
I can be
More than I've been
Someday
On a gray rainy day
You'll thank me then
Are you really going soon
To the cold white northern moon?
Yankee
Stuck in the southern heat
What will you do?
Be kind
Tell me what's on your mind
But tell me true
