But first we made time for crumpets and marmalade
And breakfast sausage that your friend made
It was hard to leave with the snow in drifts
wrapping our cars up like Christmas gifts
Ten thirty and a to-go mug of hot tea
Ten miles and a flat halfway to Belfry
We would drive fourteen hours just to suss
what a little sun might do for us
We stopped for chocolate in a cowboy town
We stopped for a soak where the river runs brown
When we got to the desert we knelt down and cried
and thanked the Lord that we’d survived
We slept on the floor at the geologist’s home
We made scrambled eggs and we made plans to roam
We stared out the window in the forest’s face
we’d driven out of winter to some other place
I found you green in the grip of a lovely monsoon
Your pockets were empty, your smile like a rune
Yeah I drove eighteen hours just to see
what a little sun might do for me
