Sweeter Than Sugarcane Lyrics

Was that just a dream I had

A thought in my mind

Oh baby, I’d have to say that it feels 

that way most of the time

‘Cause I look around me now

And this is what’s real

I live in a world that is bound 

and circled by cold hard steel



chorus:

But I remember lying under 

that old magnolia

And the sound of summer rain

With the song of the south 

rolling around in my brain

And kisses sweeter than sugarcane

Sweeter than sugarcane



Sometimes in the dead of night

When I’m trying to sleep

With the sound of the trucks 

and the horns drifting up

From down the street

I find myself wondering 

Where you are now

And when the dawn won’t break 

and you’re lying awake

What you’re thinking about



Sweeter than sugarcane
