Sunbonnet
First performed 9/93

In the sun
You turned around
And stared into the trees
No one knew what you were doing
But you'd caught a glimpse of me

Now you've got your bonnet and you've got your net
But you haven't found out how to catch me yet

In a room
I have to smile
But no one knows for whom
Although I know you can't return it
This smile is all for you

Cause you've got your bonnet and you've got your net
But you haven't found out how to catch me yet
I wish that I could fly right into that net
But I'm so far away, yes I'm so far away,
Yes I am so, oh...

And as the years go by, and you don't change at all
And every time I look, you've still got that same
Old look

No we've never even met
And we probably never will
But I wish I'd been there at just the right time
Cause we'd be together still

And you've got your bonnet and you've got your net
But you haven't found out how to catch me yet
I wish that I could fly right into that net
But I'm so far away, and you're so far away
Yes we are so, oh...
