Between the Daylight and the Dark Lyrics


Well, the grasses are swaying, sun's going down
Music is playing, youre weaving through town
Pull into the drive way, toss it in parkYou 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 heartAnd the streetlights are starting to flicker to life
They glow for a minute then they get bright
Fireflies light up, circle and sparkTheres nothing really that you can do
Put your hands in your pockets, try to get through
The distance between the daylight and the darkAnd the front porch flags lie themselves down
Like forgotten soldiers and old wedding gowns
In closets unopened and graves without any marksAs the night curtains lower behind the rooftops
Shadows dance across the sidewalks
And ricochet off of the houses like pieces of artAnd your mind is reeling as the sky is changing
All youre feeling and youre re-arranging
The rest of your life like lines on an old sailors chartYou climb back in, fire the ignition
Put your hands on the wheel, head into the distance
The distance between the daylight and the dark

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1962) is an American country and folk singer/songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Mary was adopted. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines").
