Bruce Hornsby - Sunflower Cat/It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry lyrics

One eye is open, the other eye is shut Don't throw anything to me I'm in no place, no place to receive And I just can't move a thing Things are rough down here You know it's a little grim Whatever you've got to pick me up To help me out, I'm in I'm down with that In my dream I can fly, fly high Over the fields and across the sky Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground If you could take me back up there I'm down, down with that When I escape and close my eyes Can't tell you from me Sometimes in the dreams I look at myself And it looks so good, what I see I'm having a little trouble here Could you maybe help me out? A little confidence pill you got To take away my self-doubt I'm down with that In my dream I can fly, fly high Over the fields and across the sky Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground If you could take me back up there I'm down, down with that Slow down sun, shake yourself Why make your own hell? Say, what are you doing, son? I'm just trying to like myself I'd love to help myself You know I really, really would May your days be bright and well In my dream I can fly, fly high Over the fields and across the sky Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground If you could take me back up there I'm down, down with that ----- Well, I ride on a mail train, baby, can't buy a thrill Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill Well, if I die on top of the hill And if I don't make it, you know my baby will Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees? Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the "Double E"? Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea? Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me? Now the winter time is coming, the windows are filled with frost I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
