Brian Robinson – Daylight lyrics

I wait here to pay for the things that were done, so her family can sleep well at night
they say all you feel is a pin-prink, you drift in a dream, but you never see daylight

it’s hard to remember what happened that day, you walked with her down to the mill
made love in the grass, you told me a secret, never to tell
and your daddy was home late from work, they found you face down in the river
no knock at my door, they came with the news

and your body was burning, like pure gasoline
and the water was freezing, like a Michigan boy’s dream

I remember the feel of the mud on my toes, I remember the water’s red stain
and you held on my wrist, you wanted to feel the blood rush through my veins
and I walked for miles and miles and miles, alone in the moonlight
and you waited for hours and hours just to catch the first glimpse of the daylight
