Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your face is like the sun
Sinking in to the ocean
Your face is like watching flowers
Growing in fast motion
[Chorus]
All your kisses are swallowed
Brightened mornings and hollows
My vines and tree knots will come unwound
Baby, you are my sunshine
My sunshine
Please don't take my sunshine away
[Verse 2]
The grounded fireflies are little stars that are dying
Returning to the earth I can hear them crying
[Chorus]
Like Christmas bulbs that I swallowed
Slept in a tree that's gone hollow
And never a brittle winter time
Baby you are my sunshine
My sunshine
Please don't take my sunshine away
[Outro]
Sunshine
My sunshine
Please don't take my sunshine away
