Like a sea of gold outside, my garden gate Behind that house that I grew up in Our beautiful escape We'd talk for hours and hours And look up at the sky I had all the questions But you could tell me why 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 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? Now that you're gone? Now that you're gone? 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? Now that you're gone?
