Mandolin Orange Daylight lyrics

Daylight had spoken, so clear and so plain:
I'm the keeper of nothin' but an old flame.
Consumed in the shadow, caught in the light,
blinded by hunger, and fed to the night.
Darlin', you came to me like a dream in this endless blight (fight? fog?).

My heart was reachin', so tangled, entwined
Like vines in the willow, serpentine killer, bound by his kind.
Glory was callin', she wailed and she whined
Higher and higher, "Leave it all behind!"

Darlin', you came to me in the glory I'd longed to find.

My search was unending, and my soul was bare.
Darlin', you came to me like a midnight flare
Out of the ocean. The stars had all gone:
My heart was broken, lost and alone.
Darlin', you came to me like a beacon, leadin' me home.
