Rui's Guitar
The lazy hazy day
Is picking up the heat
On ripening fields of maize
Hot earth beneath my feet
Guess I'll hit the road to find you
Let luck decide
Who gives the ride
So many things to say to you
Of love and life and who we are
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
The verge is full of flowers
That come up year on year
Sunshine into showers
Still no-one's passing here
I need someone to remind me
Of water good
My memory's blurred
So many things to say to you
Of love and life and who we are
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
The sailor and the song
The danger and bravado
Of how he carried on
When the loneliness had found him
Throwing dice for the direction
Of the breeze
Through random seas
Oh heaven help the soul
That never finds its home
Forever in a hole
Always far too wrong
Now the headlights blind my eyes
Redeeming light
Into the night
So many things to say to you
Of love and life and who we are
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
Is picking up the heat
On ripening fields of maize
Hot earth beneath my feet
Guess I'll hit the road to find you
Let luck decide
Who gives the ride
So many things to say to you
Of love and life and who we are
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
The verge is full of flowers
That come up year on year
Sunshine into showers
Still no-one's passing here
I need someone to remind me
Of water good
My memory's blurred
So many things to say to you
Of love and life and who we are
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
The sailor and the song
The danger and bravado
Of how he carried on
When the loneliness had found him
Throwing dice for the direction
Of the breeze
Through random seas
Oh heaven help the soul
That never finds its home
Forever in a hole
Always far too wrong
Now the headlights blind my eyes
Redeeming light
Into the night
So many things to say to you
Of love and life and who we are
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
So I'll sing
A song for you
On Rui's guitar
