call him daylight

hey there

big as night

i think i'll call him daylight

and i'll call him once

with a little song

he's got nothing on

he comes naked with the dawn

and i know that i will call him daylight

knock once

and now knock twice

the moon is sacrificed

to the one that they call daylight

rosie

my old friend

you've been a long time coming

i called all night

but i was afraid

you come at such a time

as you see fit

no compromise

that's why i call you daylight

moving nevermore

though our children go to war

some call you destroyer

some daylight

and i'm not gonna dance

i'm not gonna dance

i'm not gonna dance until my ship comes in

but when my ship comes in

when my ship comes in

when my ship comes in i'm gonna lose control

oh

my soul

now you own it

and you call it by the name daylight

now do you know me

your one and only

i'm glad for you to call me daylight
