Lyrics

Sunspeech

The sun gave a speech today
Through the barbed wire and chain link fence
Being flowers, we listened
And we agreed with everything, with everything he said

A wind like a lion’s breath
Blew me here to rise beside you
Old mud in a tire tread
It was fertile and sweet and pulled me beneath

Here I am going, here I am going white
Folding in this old yellow crown for the night
Here I am going, here I am going white
Cut me down but you didn’t know I could fly

Here I am going, here I am going white
Folding in this old yellow crown for the last time
Here I am going, here I am going white
Cut me down but you didn’t know I could fly
