Southern Point
from Happy Birthday by Wilkes Oswald
lyrics
Come and meet me at the southern point
Water's clear, low tide, not a cloud in the sky
Feel the waves catch my bones again
Feel my body as my soul's parting
And you know it could be true
But it couldn't be true to you
Man in blue comes to talk to you
Always up to something new
But it's just a suit
Fool's may say we live in paradise
But it don't mean nothing
Unless you're around me
And you know it could be true
But it couldn't be true to you
Always getting closer
Just to drift away again
Thought I used to know her
In the end its all the same
Water's clear, low tide, not a cloud in the sky
Feel the waves catch my bones again
Feel my body as my soul's parting
And you know it could be true
But it couldn't be true to you
Man in blue comes to talk to you
Always up to something new
But it's just a suit
Fool's may say we live in paradise
But it don't mean nothing
Unless you're around me
And you know it could be true
But it couldn't be true to you
Always getting closer
Just to drift away again
Thought I used to know her
In the end its all the same

about
Wilkes Oswald Miami, Florida
4 dudes in Miami formed a band in 2009 called Wilkes Oswald. Influenced individually and collectively by acts such as The
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, Muse, Daft Punk, and Kanye West.
No two live shows by Wilkes Oswald have ever been the same; they get off on the art of spontaneous, improvised sequences in their live shows; sometimes completely improvising a new song on the spot.
