Rui's Guitar

The lazy hazy day is picking up the heat

On ripening fields of maize, hot earth beneath my feet

Guess I'll hit the road to find you

Let luck decide who gives the ride

So many things to say to you

Of love and life and who we are

So I'll sing a song for you

On Rui's guitar

So I'll sing a song for you

On Rui's guitar

The verge is full of flowers that come up year on year

Sunshine into showers, still no one's passing here

I need someone to remind me

Of water good, my memory's blurred

So many things to say to you

Of love and life and who we are

So I'll sing a song for you

On Rui's guitar

So I'll sing a song for you

On Rui's guitar

The sailor and the song, the danger and bravado

Of how he carried on when the loneliness had found him

Throwing dice for the direction

Of the breeze, through random seas

Oh, heaven help the soul that never finds its home

Forever in a hole, always far too wrong

Now the headlights blind my eyes

Redeeming light, into the night

So many things to say to you

Of love and life and who we are

So I'll sing a song for you

On Rui's guitar

So I'll sing a song for you

On Rui's guitar
