Don't Take My Sunshine Away Lyrics
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
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
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
my sunshine
please don't take my sunshine away

Those images are so pretty.
why are there hardly any comments on this song? I agree with blueofthesky, the imagery presented is beautiful. Interesting word choices too. And his voice is so sincere. This is just gorgeous.
this song has such a Beatles-y feel to it, but it's still as unique as the rest of Sparklehorse's stuff. I love when the distortion kicks in and the beat slows. this band is fuckin brilliant. he's just in love, and describing the one he loves to the best of his ability. :]
These lyrics are somewhat straightforward. He is expressing his love for another, and at the same time, his fear of losing them.
So simple and pretty.
Great tune. Very poetic and out there as Linkous usually was. But always very pretty too. Amazing drums by Steven Drozd!
