Walking in the sunshine

from Looking West (Remix) by Dermot (Dee) McIlroy

/

about

A poignant song about dreaming of days gone by, while in reality, life is very different as the last verse reveals.

lyrics

Intro…Melody

G C G
Walking in the sunshine, eating apple pie.
G D
Walking to the river, rod and line and fly.
G C G
Gonna catch a big one, take it home to Mom.
C G D G
Gonna have a good day sitting in the sun.

Melody

G C G
Never gonna grow up, don’t wanna be a man.
G D
Always wanna stay here in the Promised land
G C G
Fishing on the river, swimming in the lake.
C G D G
Never gonna grow up, never gonna wake.

Melody

G C G
Woke up in the morning, sleeping in the rain.
G D
Lying in the gutter, isn’t it a shame.
G C G
Reality's a nightmare, that’s the way it seems.
C G
The thing that keeps me going is
D G
Escaping in my dreams.

Melody

G C G
Walking in the sunshine, eating apple pie.
G D
Walking to the river, rod and line and fly.
G C G
Gonna catch a big one, take it home to Mom.
C G D G
Gonna have a good day sitting in the sun.
