I'm the sun and you can read.

I'm the sign and you're not deaf
E                       F#m11

We could bind it in the sist(er's way of children, yo) - He eventually cut the line Up to par and Katie bars the kitchen signs, but not me in (katie bars are a food) I'm the sign and you can read In concert he likes to sing "You're the sign and we're not deaf" for the second line of the verse The song is about his sister who worked with deaf children

These lyrics are mostly incorrect but good effort. Lyric hunting has gotten a lot easier in the past decade.
