Daisy (Show Me The Light)

Daisy (Show Me The Light)

Daisy, one night I had the strangest dream
That in a crowded lonesome room you learned to make me weak

Daisy, I've never noticed your eyes and the shade of blue they are
And how the hair over your face makes you smile shine like a star

So show me where the light is because I know that this is all I've got
Keep me going so I....

Won't let hope ever go to waste
Because Daisy doesn't need to fix her compass
Maybe I'm just naive to think that
love can ever come from the bottom of a bottle

This time next year,
Will the dream still elude us all the same?
I can't help but think that
The green has lost its glow in the lights of New York City
Oh Doctor, Doctor, don't you judge me

Don't you judge me for my sins but I'm sure I have a song
For this rain-lined (eye)
I know I will come back home fumbling every word I kept
Fantasising romance in my head
Like I was 17
Because I'm a boy with a dream

Daisy, won't you sing a song for me
Oh but I forget that I'm always the chaser and you're the American dream

Daisy, lets drink a toast to the sobriety that brings me down
And all the faces in the crowd that keep me out of circles
The kids that keep me singing
But Daisy, you mean so much more to me
Than just another girl who's going to hurt me

When its all said and done, I stare at the stars,
Then I Sing this lonely tune I wrote under our hearts
In the key of melancholy to show that I don't belong
Daisy, I love you but you've woken me to what is wrong
But Daisy I think I love you, so I'm writing you this song

Now i'm terrified of what lies inside me
What I've become
All because I know that all the clocks and calendars
and wheels of the world
won't ever cease for us

I'm sorry, this is all I've got
For what its worth
I'll bite my tongue
Daisy, this is for you
