Liquid Sunshine
words and music Marc Gunn, 1997
I wrote
this love poem combining my world travel and world music influences
in particular of Hawaii, Italy and France. It then became a song that
I recorded solo and with the Brobdingnagian Bards. In Hawaii, "liquid
sunshine" is a light rain that is so fine and soft that it doesn't
feel like rain at all. Originally released on an EP called October Sessions.
A field
of lavender I gaze
With the wind and the morning haze
The wind blows soft my hair
With the fragrance of the morning air
Gently
I stroke your cheek
A tender touch of electricity
And the petals glow soft on your face
With shadows of silk-spun lace
In the
hills I wander alone
Just a thought of my Island home
The echoing of your voice
Fills a harmony in my mind
as crystal pure
...as the liquid sunshine
The water
glides off your skin
Sparkling as the purest of gems
Your eyes, they glitter and shine
Captivate my gaze in the warm sunshine
Under
wings of purity, a dove
Lands soft on my shoulder with love.
She whispers words in my ear
This song, you long to hear.
