Name: Sunshine
Duration: P00H02M42S
Description: Sunshine: Written for the BBC Radio 4 show SHOCKWAVE, after a helpful suggestion from the producer of the show that our piece about writing and recording songs during the lock down needed an upbeat song to end with. This is as upbeat as we get. But later, we were invited to perform (via Zoom) for Poets & Writers big gala, and we had the honor of having this song introduced by Stacey Abrams.

lyrics

Words & Music: Cornelius Eady

Me and my baby
Sitting in the rain,
Waiting on the sun to shine

Mr. Blues, go back
To where you came,
Waiting on the sun to shine

Want to know
How it feels
In the catbird seat
Waiting on the sun to shine

Drop me off
Where joy and
Satisfaction meet
Waiting on the sun to shine

Hummm

Sad old moon
Hanging in the sky
Waiting on the sun to shine

Sun start shining
Moon got to hide
Waiting on the sun to shine

Hummm

Sick and tired
Of Listening to the blues
Waiting on the sun to shine

Bound to Graduate
To something new
Waiting on the sun to shine

Hummm

Me and my baby
At the end of the world
Waiting on the sun to shine

Dance over the cracks
And give it a whirl
Waiting on the sun to shine

Mr. Blues
You done had your fun
Waiting on the sun to shine

Ain’t bloody likely
We’ll miss you, son.
Waiting on the sun to shine.
