Mandolin Orange - Daylight Songtexte

Daylight had spoken
So clear and so plain
I'm the keeper of nothing
But an old flame.

"Consumed in the shadow
Caught in the light
Blinded by hunger
And fed to the night
Darling you came to me like a dream in this endless blight.

My heart was reaching
So tangled and twined
Like vines in the willow
Serpentine killer
Bound by its climb

Glory was calling
She wailed and she whined
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Darling you came to me in the glory I'd long to find.

The 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.
