Sunshine Song
Life is a story in the air
Filled with dream clouds future visions that are not even there
She came to me with kisses in a wind
I tried not to blush but our tale from there began
And she stands there atop that hill
Eyes scared to open but wanting to see their fill
And she tells me that she loves me but she will never care
Telling me to stay close by but knowing I can’t be there
So she dreams of things in bloom
Her heart’s so big it hurts but for me there isn’t any room
I wish she could hear me atop that lonely hill
And forget about the twilight and know that I love her still
I see her in my darkness when I stand up to sleep
Walking in her shadow these longing thoughts dare to slowly creep
We share each others outstretched lives
But I wonder if she can see our rainbow when there is sunshine in her eyes
With her goes out my last hope
I’d like to think with her by my side that I could somehow cope
Somewhere out here in this mess
I’ll see her standing near me in that pinstripe dress
And know that someday she’ll come back home
(Guitar medley)
Somewhere out there she is waiting on a slowly moving train
She stands there with apathy while soaking up the rain
Tomorrow she’ll be calling me begging to come home
But in this sunshine rain she’ll think she’s still alone
Winter crept in quickly setting in those final days
It was too bright for her to see me she was walking in a daze
Gypsum lilac fire burned steely in her bloodshot eyes
She had been crying because she found out that even lovers lie
It’s hard to admit when I went wrong
Probably been wrong before she even came along
But beneath it all she still holds a flame for me
Even with all that sunshine making it so hard to see
I see her forever in a bathing light
But something in her shivering told me something just isn’t right
Could be it that my baby has lost it all
Or is she still tumbling down that lonely fall
