My Baby The Sun
(Joe Stevens)
Originally recorded on Now Take Flight
Build me a boat deep in your heart,
On the currents of your soul, I will row, I will chart
My journey will be, this story my own
As we wander side by side into the great unknown
Throw me a bone, cast me a line
Light my cigarette and I will open your bottle of wine
But I won t taste a drop, won t make a scene
I will live my life on the edge of that gorgeous ravine
CHORUS:
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
Sing me a tune about me and you
Sing of the holy road and the phases of the Aries moon
But don t string me along, don t shelter me where I stand
Yeah, I know what it s like to be the one with the hammer in your hand
CHORUS:
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
My baby the sun
So, build me a boat deep in your heart
Hold me there forever more, long after we part
Cause I m reading the birds, walking a line
You will live in me, my darlin , till the end of time
CHORUS:
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
My baby the sun
