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 long  Safe in shadow,  It's never as dark 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  A wandering child, so lost at play  He's found himself,  But he can't find his way  In the daylight, oh the daylight  Oh daylight, oh daylight    Life is short  And there's no turning back the time  Fragrant meadows and rocks to climb  In that daylight     In my mind  There's a corner I need to turn  Lessons left is a lesson learned  In the daylight  In the daylight    I miss the forest shade  That took me there  The promise I made  Can never leave the dark so dear  Safe and soothing yet I fear  As I recall and I reflect  I see it's safer to connect  To the daylight  Oh the daylight  Oh daylight, oh daylight    Daylight falls  And I'm lost in the big parade  Hold my hand darling, I'm afraid   Of the daylight, of the day ...
