Sunflower Lyrics

Sunflower lyrics

SUNFLOWER - Paul Weller

 

 I don't care how long this lasts

 We have no future - we have no past

 I write this now while I'm in control

 I'll choose the words and how the melody goes -

 

 Along winding streets, we walked hand in hand

 And how I long for that sharp wind

 To take my breath away again

 I'd run my fingers through your hair

 Hair like a wheatfield, I'd run through

 That I'd run through -

 

 And I miss you so - I miss you so

 No you're gone, I feel so alone

 I miss you so

 

 I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright

 While you cloud my days, messing up my nights

 

 And all the way up to the top of your head

 Sunshower kisses, I feld we had

 

 And I miss you so - I miss you so

 All I gotta do, is think of you - and I miss you so

 

 Baby I'm afraid to say why - I miss you so

 

 CAN YOU HEAL US (HOLY MAN) - Paul Weller

 

 Crystal words, that hang so fine - But none will stop us falling

 Pulling faster all the time - Powerless to warnings

 

 If you feel the hand of God - Can you guide it holy man?

 But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement

 

 Still saying!  Daddy don't weep, Momma don't cry

 Everybody gets their time

 Don't be sad, don't be blue - Pray for me, I'll do the same for you

 

 Split the Father and the Son - Hand words to ease them

 In the other is a gun - baptized by fear, and

 

 If you have the hand of God - Can you heal us, holy man?

 But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement

 

 Still saying!  Hang on tight, hang on strong

 How much longer can this go on

 But don't be sad, don't be blue - It's one more thing set to confuse

 

 Daddy don't weep, Momma don't cry

 Every fear must have its time

 Don't be sad, don't be blue - Pray for me, I'll do the same for you.

 

 Can you bring the hand of God?

 Can you stop the killing?

 Get us back to hope and love - Never more be needed -

 

 Still saying!  Bloods gone bad, bad to worse

 Worse to bad and back again

 But don't be sad, don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse

 Momma don't weep, Daddy don't cry

 Every fear must have its time

 Don't be sad, don't be blue - Pray for me, I'll do the same for you.

 

 WILD WOOD - Paul Weller

 

 High tide - mid afternoon

 People fly by, in the traffics boom

 Knowing - where you're blowing

 Getting to where, you should be going.

 

 Don't let, them get you down

 Making you feel, guilty about

 Golden rain, bring you riches

 All the good things - you deserve now.

 

 Climbing, forever trying

 Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood

 Now theres, no justice

 There's only yourself - that you can trust in

 And I said - high tide, mid afternoon

 People fly by, in the traffics boom

 Knowing - just where you're blowing

 Getting to where, you should be going.

 

 Day by day, your world fades away

 Waiting to feel - all the dreams that say

 Golden rain will bring you riches

 All the good things - you deserve now - and I say

 Climbing, forever trying

 Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood

 

 ALL THE PICTURES ON THE WALL - Paul Weller

 

 And all the pictures on the wall

 Serve only to remind you of it all

 The wasted days we could have lived

 Now we're left with nothing left to give

 

 There was a time I really loved you

 But when that was I just can't say

 As all the memories merge into one

 As each day becomes each day

 

 The clock hands ticking on the wall

 Are just reminders of it all

 The wasted days we could have lived

 Now we're left with nothing left to give

 

 We used to meet each others' eyes

 And that's all we'd have to say

 Now we don't talk that much at all

 The further our eyes seem to stray

 

 And in a funny kind of way

 This empty room was full one day

 Full of love that we once shared - now it all looks so bare

 The silent walls whose cracks I feel -

 But is there room to let the hatred heal?

 

 HAS MY FIRE REALLY GONE OUT?

 

 And when I open my eyes - will it then be morning?

 First rays of summer sun - coming down and shining

 

 And if I open my heart and say all that you would want

 Hope, faith and all I believe will be there to greet me

 

 And if I open my head, remember all that I said

 Hey baby, what will you find - coming down to meet you?

 

 A lot of words but no one talking

 I don't want no part of that

 Something real is what I'm seeking

 One clear voice in the wilderness

 

 And put an end to all your doubts -

 Has my fire really, really gone out?

 

 COUNTRY - Paul Weller

 

 I know a place not far from here

 Where life's sweet perfume fills the air

 And if you want, I'll take you there

 If you want, I'll take you there

 

 Into the light out of the dark

 Where only love can heal your heart

 And if you want I'll make a start

 If you want - I'll make a start

 

 This place I say, half hour away

 Is that so far to go? - so near

 And further on we'll find the time

 And lose the discontent we feel - that we feel

 

 I feel the time we've yet to reach

 Is not yet within our own belief

 But I feel sure that time has come

 If it goes on at all - if it goes on and on - if it goes on and on

 

 I know a place not far from here

 Where life's sweet perfume fills the air

 And if you want we'll lay a while there

 If you want, we'll lay a while there
