Lyrics:
Honey you are a rock and I am your land
And we will grow
Before the sun dries us up and turns us to sand
Do you remember when the ocean went mad
And we were to blame?
We ran to another world with lives to save

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

They were the ones who could fly
They flew so high
Then I looked into your eyes never understanding why
You would never run with me
While the world is turning upside down
And all around and we are watching those birds in the sky
From the mountainside and you

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Honey you are a rock and I am your land
And we will grow
Before the sun dries us up and turns us to sand
Do you remember when the ocean went mad
And we were to blame?
We ran to another world with lives to save

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

They were the ones who could fly
They flew so high

This was "our" song. Many a happy time singing it together. I played it at his funeral earlier this year after he died unexpectedly on Valentines night. Its a beautiful song ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💔

[lbyrd]

Seen them play this a couple of times. Never fails to well my eyes up. Makes me appreciate my love and all the good times.

[David_Palka]

Never listened for country or bluegrass. I'm from Czech Republic, central Europe, where this kind of music is not native, but I felt in love in what you do :) You are following me on everydays travel to work. Thanks for so positive attitude.

Danny always looks so happy while he's playing and I love it!

[pamela]

The Dead South is Golden! They are playing music that no one else is. Their Music exceeds futher than Anyone out there. Thank You

[tomaspadilla]

Such beauty. That cello play brings a tear to my eye. Such a rich rhythmic harmony.

[rodrigoskylopez]

I can't leave this world without seeing them live and we must do it "before the sun dries us up and turns us into sand"

You were mine and my dear lady's last gig before lockdown in Nottingham, 28th of Feb. The night we had then held us like glue in the months to come. We friggin love you gents. Here's to meeting again.

[ДмитрийСеменов-яг]

Thank you, guys. Take care of yourself during this difficult time.

[joshhyman]

One of the few bands that sound just as great live

I learned of the Dead South beginning of the year from YouTube Music. Have been a fan since and listen to them daily while milking my goats and doing other random farm chores. Thankfully my daily playlist always includes several of their songs

[unekoslim]

This song always brings tears to my eyes. Thank you guys. Can't express how much this song was there when I needed it.

[JackelKarlos]

One of my favourite tunes by you guys! Hope you're all doing well!

[simplyjessica]

Just when I thought I couldn't love this song any more than I already do! The soul put in those cello riffs melt my heart - great scenery also!

[murdoch]

Love it, David UK, did not make your UK tour as mum was ill . still working today as a mental health nurse aged 84

[crewnail]

Love the unique style, told a friend how ya'll are different and I like different.

[ashstyles]

3 of them: I'm just gonna do it in my backyard or near a lake
Mad Lad: IMMA GO UP A MOUNTAIN

[Alonetogether]

Man I hope when you guys can tour again you’ll come to Australia. I think my whole family would come see you.

Best “social distancing” video of the time and eventually off all time.

I love the dead south, only stumbled across them online last year and ever since I've loved every song they do. Honey you is one of my favourites. Keep up the good work lads!
