Alison Krauss, Union Station - Daylight 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 love
Safe in shadows, never stark as the daylight
As the daylight

When I was just knee high
My mama 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
Ooh, the daylight (Light)

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
