Sunflower - - Tom Warren ©2002
Staring shaky down the barrel
toward the end of my living
Found the courage just to ask her
to be us once again
She's the only one who knew me,
she's the only one who bothered
But i left to further fences,
and put aside my best friend
Now there's a kindling in my soul,
for the truth I been missing
Burning fiery bright inside,
as time thaws my heart
To feel her loving arms ‘round me
and her easy smile wash clean
all the blame and regret,
for the years we’re apart
(chorus)
Time to saddle up and gallop
and hitch a ride along a northern
Steam back to my true love
On a coal burning train
Want to breathe the free air
of her higher elevations
see my sunflower smiling
in a wide open plain
(instrumental break x2 verses)
In her town I roam the streets,
searching blindly for connection
Heart racing, head chasing,
stray memories gone by
I was lead to her location
near the Church of Forgiveness
was my angel in the doorway
with her sunflower smile
(chorus)
She was waiting there for me
And she’s free to be my loved one
We’ll build a life together
and I’ll always remain
Floatin’ high among the clouds
of her higher elevations
Keep my sunflower smiling
on the wide open plain
