Mary Gauthier - Between The Daylight And The Dark lyrics

Well, the gra**es are swaying, the sun's going down Music is playing, you're waving through town Pull into the driveway, toss it in park 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
