From the recording I Wish
From the perspective of a sunflower in love with the sun...
Lyrics
Verse 1
I wish I didn’t have a weakness as a sunflower
For the way the fire shines from your eyes
I wish my head didn’t turn at the slightest hint of your ray
But no matter how hard I strive
Chorus
You’re in the sky and I’m on the land
We’ll never walk hand in hand
I am the outcast bound to the ground
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t found
The light that reaches even the night
I still reflect its pulsing white
E’en when I am here, dark all around
Shivered and naked, wilt to the ground
I can’t forget
Though I wish
Oh I wish
Verse 2
Wish I didn’t have a weakness for heat
That I wasn’t like a cat basking in the sun
I wish I didn’t bloom with every drink of your gaze
That I’m not reminded each brand new day
Chorus 2
You’ll stay in the sky and I on the land
We’ll never live hand in hand
I am the outcast bound to the ground
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t found
The light that reaches even the night
I still reflect its pulsing white
E’en when I am here, dark all around
Shivered and naked, wilt to the ground
I can’t forget
Though I
Bridge
Wish you were here
The sun could touch down
That time could stand still
And you’d be around
Just like a god
Who stepped out of line
We could meet here
And dance the divine
Oh but to stay alive…
Ending Chorus
You’ll stay in the sky and I on the land
You’ll never span the vast expanse
I’ll just stay here cold on the ground
Wondering when new light will be found
