I’m going to be a sadistic bastard and say ‘guess’.
hi-jack - a long-running peeve I had with “Sunshine…” turned out to be completely unfounded, lol way off the mark.
I only now discovered that - three lines later - it’s “to give you my dawn surprise”.
I always thought it was “to give you my dull surprise” and I’d always be like - WTF is Eric going off about this dull surprise shit? How can a surprise be dull? Wouldn’t that be defeating the purpose of a surprise if it was dull? I figured it was just some hippy euphemism for a sleepy morning boner.
Or something.
I’m glad this has been cleared up - I’m ok with whatever a dawn surprise could be - I’ll wager it involves a tiny tab of paper or sugarcube. Or maybe Eric’s standing at the foot of the bed - lording over Patty - fanning out his purple tie-dyed robe thingy into a flying squirrel formation, and saying something, like, really deep, that might have something to do with tripping the light fantastic, but in their minds.
Ending of hi-jack. (couldn’t find mis-heard lyrics thread)
