Sunflower Man Lyrics - The Waifs - 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
