Franks, Michael - Crayon Sun (Safe At Home) Lyrics

Ohhhhh Michael.

I swear one day I'm gonna find a soul mate to hold me to the very end of this song and I will have lived my life😢😢😢😢😢 and both of us safe at home by the opal pool

Your the reason that I am here, I am here, I am here, 🤗😍I am.

66 and still loving this angelic messenger wonder. Incredible lyrics, prose, musical composition complex and perfect. SWEETNESS STILL EXISTS IN THIS INCREDIBLE VOICE TALENT: RIGHT FROM HIS SOUL'S HEART CENTER. Thank you eternally.

Lyrics
Makes no difference where you go
Every journey ends.
Each new landscape now you know.
Is a stepping-stone
Till you're safe at home.
Purple clouds, grey winds that rage,
Lightning lines pale white-
Choose new colors, turn the page
Where there is no storm
And you're safe at home.
Crayon sun above you
In a blue crayon sky
Little one, I love you
You're the reason that
I am here.
Once inside just close the door
Leave the world behind.
Love is what we're living for
Love and love alone
To be safe at home.
You asleep in my arms under crayon
Sunlight-yellow
By the opal pool.
All the long afternoons in the crayon
Sunlight-yellow
By the opal pool.
And both of us safe at home.
And everyone safe at home.

One of the great songs of Michael... I think James Taylor's brother is duetting with him... Perfect...

Every time I listen to Michael Frank's I want to jump in my car and drive down the high way to any where.

John Cox YYYEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!

Love that!

Nice job from buzzy Feiten at the guitar.

God, I love this song. Perhaps the best piece of music about the love of a parent for a child there will ever be.

Simply Beautiful .. thank you for posting.

He has calmed my mind since I was 15 and now I'm 50; Thanks Mr. Franks.

Gene Williams i too had michael franks to hold onto since a teen and through the most turbulent times in my life

My favourite song. Simple as that. It's been 24 years I first heard it and still can't help but put it on repeat on nostalgic nights I just can't get to sleep.

I used to sing this to my son as I was putting him to bed when he was small. He's 16 now and he still loves this song.

That is so sweet.

Thanks for posting.
I have this album.
All of the songs are good or better, including this gem.

Every track is exquisite.

I feel as If I love any one who LOVES Michael Franks.  One of my all time favorites, since I was 9 years old! So love to all of my kindred spirits out there!!!

kiel williams I get that feeling. I feel the same way. This is my first time listening to Michael Franks and it just seems something familiar.

I love this album

Clearwater Beach Florida :)

My personal favorite of many Michael Franks tunes.

Such great music, great musicians and writing, and Livingston Taylor in the background

I always think of a trip to Montego Bay Jamaica when I hear this song. Close my eyes and I'm right back there.

Could be wrong but I think it's James' brother, Livingston.

Thank you I kept looking for crayon skies......then I learn my mistake it was SUN....and this popped right up!!!! thank you agin. I knew it had to be on here f all the other songs were! YaaaaY I love this song.
