Trying to find the lyrics!

I've been trying (and failing) to find the lyrics for the song "Sunburn and Wonder" which was a song by Mann Friday released a few years back (think 2008?)

I have googled and tried all the links I already have, just wondered if anyone else has any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Youtube, headphones and type the lyrics into wordpad/Word or use a pen and paper.

I have just searched for you and I also couldnt find anything at all. The only thing was the video on youtube, as someone else said, with the lyrics playing along side. So unfortunately it looks as though you would need to play it and write them down.

Thanks- the problem is, I can't depict what the lyrics are! I am sure I'm hearing the wrong words and its really irritating! I wanted to see what the writer wrote and not what my brain keeps telling me I'm hearing- am thinking maybe I'll see if I can find links to the band, see if I can ask them. Not got the CD (have the MP3) but will see if the CD is about, trouble is I only like one song on the album so am ambivilant about forking out possibly £15 for an album I don't really want the rest of!

Thanks anyway though:)

Ok, I had a look for the lyrics but couldn't find them, listened to the song on youtube and liked it, so I had a go at reproducing the lyrics here (seemed pretty straightforward to my ear, anyway) So here's waht I made of it:

SUNBURN AND WONDER

Wearing a frown, my head down
Must have been days and days I've been walking
through the sunlight of those hills
The back of your shoes were sky blue
like reflections of the river bend
and then you held my hand to point
Son, that's a waterfall,
Son that's a waterfall, yeah

I stood and stared as it fell
This ivory tower of a wishing well
that held all our dreams inside and
It was then you turned to me
You said I could be anything I wanna be
As you touched my shoulder
That's a waterfall
Son, that's a waterfall,

Cause I want to return to that place
Just cover me in sunburn and wonder
sunburn and wonder
return to that place
just cover me with sunburn and wonder, sunburn and wonder


And with that he walked away
The spray silhouette stayed inside the corners of my eyes
And even here and now I lie
With London burning brightly by
his mist of words rise
That's a waterfall
Son, that's a waterfall
return to that place
Just cover me in sunburn and wonder
sunburn and wonder
return to that place
just cover me in sunburn and wonder
sunburn and wonder


I thought it was a lovely song about a boy and his Dad.

Thanks:) Thats really kind of you- it was the highlighted parts I ws having problems with, I heard "sun dance and water" and "as you held my hand to point" rather then anything else and wasn't sure if I'd heard right or not.
