I made you who you are
and who you'll always be
but you can't see my scars
your eyes are closed to me
when the sunbeams shine on you
i remember the happier times
with your hand in mine
as a part of your life

chorus: you're still my saffron girl
i loved you before the sunlight hit the world
you're still my saffron girl
you're still my saffron girl

you tried to hide your eyes
you forgot my name
like a little girl in a summer sunflower dress
a resemblance still remains
when i see you smile
i remember the happier times
i'm throwing out a line to recover your life

(chorus)

maybe someday you will see how much i love you
maybe someday you will learn
you're still my saffron girl

(chorus)
