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
