daylight

daylight falls and i'm lost in the big parade. hold my hand

darling

i'm afraid of the daylight. shade is dark. cool and languid for life or love. safe in shadows; never stark as the daylight. as the daylight. when i was just knee high

my momma told me

never try

to be someone that i am not. yet over time i had forgot

the wandering child

so lost at play: he's found himself but he can't find his way

in the daylight. oh

the daylight. ooh

daylight. ooh

daylight. life is short

and there's no turning back the time. fragrant meadows and rocks to climb in the daylight. in my mind

there's a corner i need to turn. lessons lived is a lesson learned in the daylight. in the daylight. i miss the forest shade

you took me there

the promise i made

to never leave the dark so deep. safe and soothing

yet i fear

as i recall and now reflect

i see it's safer to connect

to the daylight. oh

the daylight. ooh

daylight. ooh

daylight. daylight falls and i'm lost in the big parade. hold my hand

darling

i'm afraid of the daylight. of the day.
