From the recording Blackeyed Susan
Lyrics
I sip your soft and fading glow
You disappear
From my horizon
Peach and fire on your tail
Breathe deep and turn around
Don’t taunt yourself with a sailor’s delight
No ship can carry you to where she’s going
To where she’s gone
I love the sun, I soak it in while I can
My hands and eyes bend towards
The warming light
Rest you eyes
On the North Star
And remember who you are
Hold still, I don’t think she will
I don’t think she will
I don’t think she can
Blackeyed Susan
Blackeyed Susan
Take her in like you would
The sun
A little hand stretched yellow pedal
To my face
“Blackeyed Susan”
Came a voice, soft as rain
“For you, you can keep it
I pick them for my favorite mom
I thought I’d give this one to you
Because you were all alone”
Blackeyed Susan
Blackeyed Susan
Take her in like you would
The sun
Blackeyed Susan
Blackeyed Susan
Take her in like you would
The sun
