Intro
G# D# A# D#
G# D# A# D#
Like a sea of gold outside my garden gate
G# D#
Behind that house that I grew up in,
A# D#
our beautiful escape
G# D#
We’d talk for hours and hours
A# D#
and look up at the sky
G# D#
I had all the questions,
A# D#
but you could tell me why
Carry on like this for the rest of the song
You told me
Sunflowers stare at the sun
And how the Milky Way
Is the galaxy called home
I thought the moon was a crescent
You showed me I was wrong
But where should this sunflower stare
Now that you’re gone?
Autumn rain began to wash away the dust
I never thought that gold could turn to rust
One morning they were gone and I could cry
Cos you’re not here to tell me why
