lyrics

I choose my eyes wide open and my heart half broken every time
Over a gilded golden shackled reassuring sentimental lie
I've seen the rolling meadows and the cruelest ghettos in this town
I know the baker and the undertaker and the girl with stars on her gown

And the song that sounds the best to me is the chorus of the maple trees
And the river bends into the sea, its course is fixed and so are we

I got sunshine, sunshine all over me
and brown eyes and blue skies are all I see

I do not care to offer any commentary on the world
I only sing for the pleasure and for a certain sentimental girl
I did not come here to establish any new world somewhere up in the clouds
I just want to make love in the morning- work till even and then watch the sun go down

Oh the aimless and upward climb, the hidden hand, the searching vine
And the river bends into the sea, its course is fixed and so are we

I got sunshine, sunshine all over me
and brown eyes and blue skies are all I see
And the strangest fruit- grows from the ledge, oh my friends, my friends- go near to the edge

All those who are mining for gold they get pre-maturely old trying not to disappear
But me I'm just a ditchdigger, when I'm gone- forget that I was here
