about

As the character of Sunflower looks out her window, she falls into a daydream about what her life would have, could have been like. Is it too late?

lyrics

I’ve never been to Paris, I’ve never seen the seine
Fed the peacocks in the bois de bologne or kissed a lover in the rain
I just sit here and watch the neighbours in my pink house in Scranton PA
Buyt the TV glow I drift away and dream of walking out that door one day

What a story for the local news, what a scandal for the PTA
The authorities would have no leads, I’d vanish on an ordinary day

But I wouldn’t care I’d be at a corner café
I close my eyes and I’m there, sitting in the rain
Smoking a Gauloise, waiting for Jacques or Andre
I’ll go there one day, I’ll go there one ordinary day

In the morning I fold up my dreams in faded flower bedsheets
I slowly and carefully put them away
You laugh at me but still I dream, You’re laughing but still I dream

Page 47 of my yearbook read “Most likely to see the world”
Walmart ladies whisper to be overheard,, “She was a mother while she was still a girl”

But I wouldn’t care I’d be at a corner café
I close my eyes and I’m there, sitting in the rain
Smoking a Gauloise, waiting for Jacques or Andre
I’ll go there one day, I’ll go there one ordinary day
