My Baby The Sun
(Joe Stevens)
Originally recorded on Now Take Flight
Am
Build me a boat deep in your heart,
C G Am
On the currents of your soul, I will row, I will chart
Am
My journey will be, this story my own
C G Am
As we wander side by side into the great unknown
Am
Throw me a bone, cast me a line
C G Am
Light my cigarette and I will open your bottle of wine
Am
But I won't taste a drop, won't make a scene
C G Am
I will live my life on the edge of that gorgeous ravine
CHORUS:
E G C D
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
E G D C Am
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
