lyrics

Standing in the check-in line in London,
Alicia I couldn’t keep my eyes off you.
And then you sat right down beside me.
Eight hours in the air but time just flew.

When the sunlight shines
on the high thin clouds,
it’s like a rainbow without the rain.
An old man told me it brings good luck.
That must have been a sundog day.

I had finished with a photo shoot in Scotland
and you’d been on a walking tour in Wales.
Too shy to ask if I could call you,
I never dreamed you’d come to see me play.

When the sunlight shines
on the high thin clouds,
it’s like a rainbow without the rain.
An old man told me it brings good luck.
That must have been a sundog day.

The ice storm gave me cabin fever
and lately it’s been so cold and gray.
Such a relief that it’s unseasonably warm
and I’m in the woods with you today.

See the sunlight shine
upon the high thin clouds
and how it makes a rainbow without the rain.
An old man told me that it brings good luck.
Oh, these will be our sundog days.
