Like a sea of gold outside my garden gate
Behind that house that I grew up in, our beautiful escape
We'd talk for hours and hours and look up at the sky
I had all the questions and you could tell me why

You told me sunflowers stare at the sun
And how the Milky Way is the galaxy called home
I thought the moon was a crescent
You showed me I was wrong
But where should this sunflower stare
Now that you're gone?

Autumn rain began to wash away the dust
I never thought that gold could turn to rust
One morning they were gone and I could cry
'Cos you're not here to tell me why

You told me sunflowers stare at the sun
And how the Milky Way is the galaxy called home
I thought the moon was a crescent
You showed me I was wrong
But where should this sunflower stare
Now that you're gone?
Now that you're gone?
Now that you're gone?

You told me sunflowers stare at the sun
And how the Milky Way is the galaxy called home
I thought the moon was a crescent
You showed me I was wrong
But where should this sunflower stare
Now that you're gone?
Now that you're gone?
