Alison Krauss & Union Station 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
