Daylight falls and I'm lost in the big parade
Hold my hand darlin, I'm afraid of the daylight
Shade is dark, cool and languid for love or lorn
Safe in shadow its 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
one wondering child so lost at play, he's found himself
but he can't find his way in the daylight, oh the daylight
Oh ( oh daylight ) Oh ( oh daylight )
Life is short and theres no turnin back the time
Fragrent meadows and mounts to climb in the daylight
In my mind theres a corner I need to turn, lessons lived
Is a lesson learned in the daylight, in the daylight
I miss the forest shade it took me there the promise I made
To never leave the dark so dear safe and soothing yet I fear
As I recall and I reflect I see its safer to connect
To the daylight, oh the daylight
Oh ( oh daylight ) Oh ( oh daylight )
Daylight falls and I'm lost in the big parade
Hold my hand darlin, I'm afraid of the daylight, of the day
