Elms - A Place In The Sun lyrics

V1. I sit in the willows, my hat on my knee. There's a man in my shoes where a boy used to be. I'm wore-out and weary, but before my time's done I need to find me a place in the sun. V2. Well, life shot right by me. It's hard to explain. The days started pa**ing, now they all look the same. Well, every good spirit needs someplace to run, So I need to find me a place in the sun. CHORUS: A place where the golden rays Dance on the waterways. Where time pa**es easily, And burdens don't trouble me. I'd feel like a millionaire, Sat on a foldin' chair Watching you dance in the breeze. V3. I don't know a fella who ain't seen it tough. We deal and we hustle to make just enough. But somewhere the people are still having fun, So I'm gonna find me that place in the sun. CHORUS 2: A place where there's little rain, And good memories remain. Somewhere you can take a drive Back to a simple time. I'd feel like all royalty Sat near an olive tree Free from my work for awhile. V4. I sit in the willows, my hat on my knee. There's a man in my shoes where a boy used to be. Well, every good spirit needs someplace to run, So I need to find me a place in the sun. Lily (Hidden Track) V1. Out in the lilyfields, pineapple chamomile Was blowing over the river and old highway. And from the trees came honeys**le breeze Pushin' her hair from her shoulders across her face. She liked the April cool. I took a breath or two. We turned a streetcorner lying in fields of green. Your innocence ain't such a funny thing When all your glories are back in a rearview scene. CHORUS: Lily won't let me walk away. Lily ain't got nothin' to say. I've been over her, I've been all the way And I'm sorry that I didn't stay. Well, we made it through the tender years. We were all alone on a wild frontier. Baby who's to say, maybe that explains why Lily won't let me walk away. V2. I'm not the easy kind. I'll get you off my mind. There ain't no dirt on a shoulder where I remain. But when I think of you, it sends a fire through Like bringing color to children gone charcoal grey. CHORUS: Lily won't let me walk away. Lily ain't got nothin' to say. I've been over her, I've been all the way And I'm sorry that I didn't stay. Well, we made it through the tender years. We were all alone on a wild frontier. Baby who's to say, maybe that explains why Lily won't let me walk away
