C G C The dry earth is thirsty and gold Am F G This land is made to yearn C G F Am I turn up my face to you Am G C I pray for your safe return Chorus: F G C The night is so still without you Am F G Save the wind and a far off train F C What can I do, I think only of you G C When sunflowers bloom in the rain The dust kicks up from your shoes Raindrops fall thick and heavy The flowers sing out in bloom As the dark sky opens and empties Chorus Sunflowers bloom in the storm To show their love for the sun They hold her light in their hands Kept safe till the new day dawns Chorus x2 last line The clouds heavy with rain dance dark over the sky That broad sky, bleached and wind-smoothed Swath of blue Blooming fields turn their faces To the vanishing sun I smell the fragrant grass As it dances beneath the warm drops The earth sings, and the flowers hold The promise of the returning light Close to their beating hearts.
This is the most tender song we have ever written. We miss the land of our childhood, the land of the many tomato factories and the sunflowers and the dust, and the dome of blue. I turn my face to you, oh most holy memory and hope that that joy will return again. The prompt for this one was given by someone we still had a crush on but we wrote it for her and her boyfriend to listen to at the time. Anyways we are gay and FANTASTIC at doing social stuff.
