Song Lyrics

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 ...
