Daylight

(album: Such Jubilee - 2015)

Daylight had spoken
So clear and so plain.
I'm the keeper of nothing
But an old flame
Consuming the shadows
Caught in the light,
Blinded by hunger
And fed to the night.

And Darling, you came to me
Like a dream in this endless blight.

My heart was reaching
So tangled and twined
Like vines in the willows
A serpentine killer
Bound by its climb.
Glory was calling,
She wailed and she whined
Higher and higher.
Leave it all behind.

And Darling, you came to me
In the glory I'd longed to find.

My search was unending
And my soul was bare.
And darling you came to me
Like a midnight flare.
Out on the ocean,
The stars had all gone.
My heart was broken,
Lost and alone.

Darling, you came to me
Like a beacon leading me home.
