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 ...
