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. (Light.)
|
|
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...
