Darryl Purpose was a late arrival to the folk explosion of the 1990s. By the time he became a full-time folk singer in 1996, the competition among acoustic troubadours scrambling to find a place in the wake left by monster success stories like Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, and the Indigo Girls was intense and daunting. But folk music is, after all, a storytelling genre. And when Purpose did finally hit the folk scene, he came with an unusually eclectic resume that provided him with a wealth of compelling stories to tell.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The Stars all live at Sunny's house By Darryl Purpose
Sunny smiled in idderdam, mother natures daughter. GAmG Sleeping under southern skies, drinking crystal water. AmGDG She awoke in kallico, among the wild flowers. GAmG And God gave her a secret code, to spark her super powers. AmGAmDG See the engine of the earth, the spirits of the horses. GAmG The hands that turned the seasons round and other unseen forces. AmGDGD
Chorus
And the stars all live at Sunnys house, EmC and they shined through Sunnys sky light. DG They show up when the sun goes down, EmC and they vanish with the twilight. DG
Her father was a fisherman, seventh son of seven. GAmG A twister took him from the sea upto the gates of heaven. CGAmDG So Sunny she was sent a way to the sisters of St Mary. GAmG Her Gospel plowers given there and a cross to carry. CGAmDG They showed her this the road is rough and always getting rougher. GAmG and only Jesus understands the reasons why we suffer. AmCGAmDGD
And the stars all live at Sunnys house EmC and they shined through Sunnys sky light DG They show up when the sun goes down EmC and they vanish with the twilight DG
Sunny lives alone now in a house that was her mothers GAmG The voices on the radio leave her no need for others AmGAmDG Sometimes they sit beneath the stars and count the constellations GAmG A billion souls across sky across the generations AmCGDG Sometimes she sees the earth explode into a thousand pieces GAmG Sometimes she prays for Christ to come and finally release us AmGAmDGD And the stars all live at Sunnys house EmC and they shined through Sunnys sky light DG They show up when the sun goes down EmC and they vanish with the twilight DG The stars all live at Sunnys house EmC and they shined through Sunnys sky light DG They show up when the sun goes down EmC and they vanish with the twilight DG
