Lyrics for Daisy Mae
Lay down beside me Close your eyes and feel the noonday sun These eyes, they remind me Of a scared and simple doe before she runs John was a Baptist He feared the world could end at any time You and I are charged with this, to hold the essence of a kiss To take these broken plans and make them rhyme Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae this hasn't been your day Hasn't been your day Here he never touched you Inside this house he never called your name So stay where I can see you, girl We both know the outside world Has changed and it will never be the same My hands, they are wicked My head and my heart are wicked, too All these things that I do wrong If you weren't given fear so strong I would not be good enough for you Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day But I won't lay this pistol down Until the sky falls to the ground Leave him there to call your name 'Till man and land are both the same Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day Hasn't been your day
