Sunflower Home

She keeps their photographs upon the sill

With names engraved in silver,

dust and time

First was her partner on the windy hill

She placed a seed inside the clay and lime (mmm-hmmm)

I planted light where grief had grown

A golden shield against the dark alone

Now every petal holds a name

Under the summer sun we

shine the same

Then came the neighbor who had passed in spring

And then the baker with the gentle hands

Year after year she heard the summer sing

Until the gold took over all her lands (yeah)

And now the town has made a path to

walk

They bring their photos and they gently talk

A sea of yellow beneath the sky

Where tears are wiped and memories never

die

I planted light where grief had grown A golden shield against the

dark

alone

Now every petal holds a name

Under the summer sun we shine the same We shine the same

(ooh-ooh-ooh) Where light has grown
