Paul Weller Album

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

[No lyrics]

High tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing, just where you are blowing
Getting to where you should be going

Dont let them get you down
Making you feel quilty about
golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things you deserve and now

Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood
Now theres no justice
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 are 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, foreever trying
find you way out of the wild, wild wood
Said you are gonna find you way out of the wild, wild wood
Wild wild wood

Can you put a smile back on - all these different faces
Of all these people from - such different places
And if you can succeed - what then will you achieve
With a different tune to play - you've been saving for a rainy day
Will you heal the scar that's on - the years been wasted
The tears spent on the past - just filling spaces
Or is love forever gone banished to a smaller part
Hide behind your wall and start - to get to the very heart

An' if you wanna shoot the moon - make sure that you know why
Careful fly too soon - better let someone else try

I'm the weaver of your dreams - I get rid of your bogeyman
I'm here to smash the shell you're under
An' get you into another thing -
I'm the weaver of your dreams - I put paid to the rocketman
I'm here to break the spell you're under
And get you started with another plan

Could you put a kiss back on - the lips so twisted
Waiting for the chance to start - dipping into wishes
Or is love forever gone - banished to a smaller part
Hide behind your wall and start - to get to the very heart

And in the midst of the darkest night
Think of me and hold me tight
So that I might live to see
All the weaving of my dreams

[No lyrics]

like a dream on the ocean,
Always drifting away,
And I can`t catch up,
She just slips away, (on the tide)

sometimes a great notion,
can lead us astray,
so weak to devotion'
so strong to deny

oh baby baby won`t you let me ride
-take me up on your sailboat ride
come on now angels are on your side
but she slips away on the tide

like mercury gliding,
a silver teardrop that pours,
And i can`t hold on,
through my fingers she falls

at the foot of the mountain,
such a long way to climb,
how will i ever get up there ?
though i know i must try

Oh baby baby won`t you let me ride
Take me up on your sailboat ride,
come on now angels are on your side,
but she slips away,
oh never stays

yeah she slips away
oh and she slips away

(repeat last two lines ad lib)

Was that a shooting star I saw
It’s rare for me to make a wish at all
Because I feel that I can only hope
These dangerous time, we are barely afloat
And I hope the world will heal itself
And our worn out souls along with it
So that you will get the chance to say
That you have seen a better day

You’ve got the moon on your pyjamas
And the stars in your eyes
Sweet child you’re a dream in disguise
Angels on silver strings hang from above
Let love and laughter shine wherever you go

Through your new eyes I’ve come to see
How beautiful my life can be
And I’ll keep this wish this time I think

And blow it in with a kiss upon your head

And I hope the world will heal itself
And our worn out souls along with it

So that you will get the chance to see
A summer’s blue sky behind green trees

You’ve got the moon on your pyjamas
And the stars in your eyes
Sweet child you’re a dream in disguise
Angels on silver strings hang from above
Let love and laughter shine wherever you go

Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
An' now I'm all hung up again
Just like a soldier from the past
Who won't be told it's over yet
Refusing to put down his gun
He's gotta hurt someone
He'll keep on fighting 'til his war is won

Waiting for the moment
Keep on looking for a sign

Extraordinary - trying to cease the war inside
Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
An' now I'm all hung up again
