"Sunflower, Sunflower" - Jeremiah Birnbaum and Debbie Miller

My song of the week, perhaps the sweetest song I've ever written! Finished thanks to the delightful Debbie Miller on co-vocals and glockenspiel! Inspired by my friend Honor Finnegan and, well, a gorgeous sunflower on my block. Arrangement inspired by She and Him. (Zooey, you can cover this if you want....teehee!)

Sunflower, sunflower
Dippin your head to the bees
When I walk under you
you're so much bigger than me what do you see...what do you see

A number sign that's perching like a bluejay on the mailbox
Jasmine vines are curling over chain link like a chorus
a wild eye boy is dancing to the birds above the traffic
Or is it to his dreams

Sunflower, sunflower
Dippin your head to the bees
When I walk under you
you're so much bigger than me what do you see...what do you see

A plastic windmill flashing blue into the garden
An old man holding hands with his granddaughter
The child's smile scrunchin up with silly laughter
When the block erupts in spring

Sunflower, sunflower....

At night at dawn different worlds awaken
A blinking light that taxis by
The front stoop sitters singing high
And you, my friend, in kind

Sunflower, sunflower
Dippin your head to the bees
When I walk under you
you're so much bigger than me
