Sunshine - Shawn Mullins

Frank don’t mind the rain

He kind of digs the sound

But Portland in November

It sometime gets you down

When you’re standing in a doorway

Trying to keep out of the cold

And no one’s looking your way

And you got no bills to fold

But Frank he don’t like begging

But he could use a buck or two

Yeah to bed down at the mission

Maybe sleep a whole night through

And dream about Maria a girl that he once knew

We all need a little sunshine

We all need a little sunshine

Everybody needs a little sunshine

Too many days dark and grey

We need a little sunshine

Well Frank touched at pioneer square June of '69

He thumbed here up the west coast

To get the war off of his mind

And it’s where he met Maria

And she made him feel so fine singing

We all need a little sunshine

She was singing

We all need a little sunshine

Everybody needs a little sunshine

Love was free and so was she

Singing in the sunshine

Sweet sunshine

Frank wakes up at sunrise

And he hears a distant train

Finds a piece of cardboard

In the alley by the drain

And he writes his message black and bold

And he remembers why he came here

We all need a little sunshine

We all need a little sunshine

Everybody needs a little sunshine

I can’t take another day dark and grey

We need a little sunshine

We all need a little sunshine

Just a little sunshine

Everybody needs a little sunshine

Yeah we all need

Everybody needs a little sunshine

Frank don’t mind the rain

He kind of digs the sound
