Steady Night
Shandon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust me I say that I love you
When ever someone listens to me
But this night I'll say it in my thoughts
Being sure they'll understand me too
'cause I met you in that weird room
And wondered what to do
Because of you we have been a tree in bloom
I'll sing it all around
It's my steady night in a roots reggae style
I'm walking along your street my baby
I wouldn't like to leave you tonight
That's my way to stay more with you
And not to go to bed until dawn
What will I do? I'll share that room
And get deeper with you
Just take a big breath while goin' home




And write about this night
It's my steady night in a roots reggae style
