Sunflower

I was out on the laguna
There I waited for a storm
Paddled out too far, and I can’t see anywhere to crash my kayak
One mile back, I dropped my oar
I recall when I first met you (Ooh, ooh)
I know I said this all before
Your dark eyes are whirlpools strong enough to give a hurricane your name
Your wave and smile knocked me overboard
Pilgrim Mayflower
Burning gunpowder
Loud as cannon fire—
She’s sure a boat-stopper
Everything bubbles, and it fizzes (Ooh, ooh)
I hope we’re not running dry
I think I’ll move out to Slap City. Baby, will you come with me?
We can just drink these tears we cry
I can pretend that I’m Jack Sparrow
But Gene Wilder is my captain
Neither one of us knows where we will be a year from now
Can you help me set up my tent?
Coconut water
Ticking bell tower
Lemonade powder—
You’re my sunflower
