"Don't Take my Sunshine Away" by Sparklehorse
your face is like the sun sinking into the ocean
your face is like watching flowers growing in fast motion
all your kisses i swallowed
brightened mornings and hollows
my vines and tree knots will come unwound
baby you are my sunshine
my sunshine
please don’t take my sunshine away
the grounded fireflies are little stars that are dying
returning to the earth i can hear them crying
like christmas bulbs that i swallowed slept in a tree that’s gone hollow
and never a brittle wintertime
baby you are my sunshine
my sunshine
please don’t take my sunshine away
sunshine
my sunshine
please don’t take my sunshine away
This is a beautiful love song/poem that uses the symbolic references and metaphors to the beauty of nature. He compares the good and the hard times of love and expresses this through the essence of seasons and what comes with each. He is trying to prove to her that it will pass and that she shouldn't leave him because she is his sunshine :)
