Daylight Has Caught Me

Daylight has caught me

Can't go nowhere

If it wasn't for the daytime

There'd be nothing to fear

If it wasn't for the daylight

They say there wouldn't be no light at all

But if it wasn't for the night life

I wouldn't be here at all

I wouldn't be here at all

Daylight has caught me

Can't run away

Daylight has caught me

Looks like another day

I'm waitin' for the moonshine

Come moon shine on me

Looks like daylight has caught me

Daylight has caught me

Well, I'm a friend of daylight

Daylight's no friends with me

Moonlight's an old friend of mine

Keeps me drinking

Keeps me up all the time

Keeps me down by the river side

Countin' stars, lookin' for some moonshine

Moonshine is all I need

Daylight comes sneakin' up on me

Moonlight is all I want

Daylight is all I can't stand

Daylight has caught me once again

Again, again, again, again

Looks like that daylight's

Caught up with me as fast as it could

Looks like that daylight

Won't let another day go by

Well if I had some darkness 'round me

I could really see

But as it happens

Daylight has caught up on me

So I say

Damn damn the daylight

It's gone and caught me for another day

Damn damn the daylight

It does it every day

It does it anyway

It wants to

No matter how I fight it

Why, I could put out the candles

At night time

But god's gonna light 'em

In the morning

Daylight's found me once again

Daylight is chasin' me all over the world

I'd like to jump on some airplane

Just to get away from it all

Daylight is after me

I don't like to see it smile

That's why I pray for night time

And darkness

Just for a while

If I could sleep in the mornin'

And I could play at night

If I could have the evening

I wouldn't need the daylight

Damn, damn the daylight

It's gone and caught me for

Another day

Damn damn the daylight

It does it every day

Let it rain on monday

I'd be happy as a king

But here comes the sun-king

Every morning
