Between The Daylight And The Dark Lyrics - Mary Gauthier

Well, the grasses are swaying, sun's going down 

Music is playing, you? re weaving through town 

Pull into the drive way, toss it in park 

You 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, 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 

Photos 

And your 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, fire the ignition 

Put your hands on the wheel, head into the distance 

The distance between the daylight and the dark
