Like a sea of gold outside my garden gate Behind the house that I grew up in, a beautiful escape We talked for hours and hours and look up back the sky I had all the questions but you could tell me why You told me sunflowers stare back at the sun and how the milky way is a galaxy called home I thought the moon was a crescent and you showed me I was wrong I wish you would be a sunflower and stare, now that you're gone Oh, the rain began to wash away the dust I'd never though the gold could turn to rust When morning, they were gone and I could cry Cause you're not here to tell me why You told me sunflowers stare back at the sun and how the milky way is a galaxy called home I thought the moon was a crescent and you showed me I was wrong I wish you would be a sunflower and stare, now that you're gone Now that you're gone Now that you're gone You told me sunflowers stare back at the sun and how the milky way is a galaxy called home I thought the moon was a crescent and you showed me I was wrong I wish you would be a sunflower and stare, now that you're gone Now that you're gone
