Daylight - Alison Krauss & Union Station

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

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
