Waifs - Sunflower Man lyrics

rate me

I’ll never forget I was singing in the streets<br />

You laid a sunflower on the case at my feet<br />

You blew a smile and you rolled right away<br />

People cheered on the day that I fell in love<br />

Yeah I fell in love<br />

<br />

My head was heavy and my clothes they were torn<br />

I’d never felt like anyones princess before<br />

If you knew how much you blew me away<br />

I’d want to go and relive that day<br />

It was the day that I fell in love<br />

Yeah I fell in love<br />

<br />

Oh Sunflower Man, throw me a dollar, reached out your hand and<br />

Laid a big sunflower down at my feet<br />

It was a buskers dream the way I fell in love<br />

I fell in love, when I fell in love<br />

<br />

The day you gave that big sunflower to me<br />

We lay together and we smoked till the dawn<br />

We spoke of poetry and we sung some songs till the daylight came<br />

<br />

I’m not always good at saying how I feel<br />

This song to some people it’s not a big deal<br />

But you know who it’s from and you know who it’s for<br />

I was a poor lonely busker the day I fell in love<br />

Yeah I fell in love<br />

<br />

Close your eyes lay your head in my lap<br />

You know I really love that<br />

I thank God for the day that I was singing in the street<br />

I earnt twelve dollars, a sunflower and you, for keeps<br />

And I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love – and I’m still in love
