Between The Daylight And The Dark Lyrics

Between The Daylight And The Dark lyrics

Well, the grasses are swaying, the suns going down

Music is playing,
you're waving through town

Pull into the driveway, toss it in park

You stare out of the windshield, out into the world

It was all for the
love of a wayward girl

Who left you with a second place smile and a
broken heart



And the streetlights are starting to flicker to
life

They glow for a minute then they get bright

Fireflies light
up, circle and spark

There's nothing really that you can do

Put
your hands in your pockets and try to get through

The distance between
the daylight and the dark



And the front porch flags lie themselves
down

Like forgotten soldiers and old wedding gowns

In closets
unopened and graves without any marks

As the night curtains lower behind
the rooftops

Shadows dance across the sidewalks

And ricochet off of
the houses like pieces of art



Then you mind is reeling as the sky
is changing

All you're feeling and you're re-arranging

The rest of
your life like lines on an old sailors chart

You climb back in and fire
the ignition

Put your hands on the wheel, head into the distance

The distance between the daylight and the dark
