Sunflower Man

The Waifs

I'll never forget

I was singing in the streets

You laid a sunflower

In the case at my feet

Threw a smile

And you rolled right away

People cheered on the day

That I fell in love

Yeah I fell in love



My head was heavy

My clothes they were torn

I'd never felt like

Anybody's princess before

If you knew how much

You blew me away

I'd want to go

And relive that day

It was the day

That I fell in love

Yeah I fell in love



Oh Sunflower Man,

Throw me a dollar,

Reach out your hand

Lay a big sunflower

Down at my feet

It was a buskers dream

The way I fell in love

I fell in love,

When I fell in love



The day you gave

That big sunflower to me

We lay together

And we spoke till the dawn

We spoke of poetry and

We sung some songs

Till the daylight came



I'm not always good

At saying how I feel

This song to some people

It's not a big deal

But you know who it's from

And you know who it's for

I was a poor lonely busker

The day I fell in love

Yeah I fell in love



Close your eyes

Lay your head in my lap

You know I really love that

I thank God for the day

That I was singing in the street

I earnt twelve dollars,

A sunflower and you to keep

And I fell in love,

I fell in love,

I fell in love ? and I'm still in love
