Chasing the sun
Louise Dowd feat. Richard Salmon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up to a dream
Summer grass velvet green
Walk out and drink the light
Blow a kiss to the danelions
Everything's alright

Love birds singing
Love bells ringing
We're alive and kicking
Summer's come and
We're chasing the sun
Shout about your feeling
Shout with your believen
They say that we're dreamers
Summer's come and
We're chasing the sun

Rivers run through trees
Buttercups dancing breeze
Look up to mountains high
Raise your glass to the red blue skies
Everything's alright

Love birds singing
Love bells ringing
We're alive and kicking
Summer's come and
We're chasing the sun
Shout about your feeling
Shout with your believen
They say that we're dreamers




Summer's come and
We're chasing the sun

Why do such great songs have so little exposure? Searching 'Chasing the sun' only gives me The Wanted's music!
