Five thirty-four AM
I was about to start my day
but she lay in there across me
so I stayed anyway
Arms tied
legs numb
her wrapped around my knee
Sweetest of the sunflowers
how you're the sun to me
I don't recall
what you were wearing
on the first night we met
besides the subtle cloud around you
from my last cigarette
And you come from a good place
with a happy family
The only bad you've ever done
was to see the good in me
'Cause I've been livin'
waitin' on the day
That the good Lord willin'
sends you out my way
I'vе seen hard times
bad luck
all that in-between
Sweetest of thе sunflowers
how you're the sun to me
And I remember being younger
and my mother told me true
Find someone who grows flowers
in the darkest parts of you
Take heed when things get hard
and don't you ever turn around
'cause you'll find someone
someday somewhere
that grows you to the clouds
And you walked me home that evening
when I could barely walk
and you spoke to me so sweetly
on the days I couldn't talk
And now I'm seeing clearly
and I'm growing up so free
Sweetest of the sunflowers
how you're the sun to me
'Cause I've been livin'
waitin' on the day
That the good Lord willin'
sends you out my way
I've seen hard times
bad luck
all that in-between
The sweetest of the sunflowers
how you're the sun to me
The sweetest of the sunflowers
how you're the sun to me
