Don't Take My Sunshine Away

your face is like the sun sinking into the ocean

your face is like watching flowers growing in fast motion

all your kisses i swallowed

brightened mornings and hollows

my vines and tree knots will come unwound

baby you are my sunshine

my sunshine

please don’t take my sunshine away

the grounded fireflies are little stars that are dying

returning to the earth i can hear them crying

like christmas bulbs that i swallowed

slept in a tree that’s gone hollow

and never a brittle wintertime

baby you are my sunshine

my sunshine

please don’t take my sunshine away

sunshine

my sunshine

please don’t take my sunshine away
