From the recording Strawberry Moon

Lyrics

TO THE DAYLIGHT


Rain falls on the mountain
Flows down to the sea
That’s how it’s always been
And that how it’s going to be
But it’s alright
Going be a long night

Pedro found the answers
Inside an ancient book
Maggie she stopped looking
And that’s all it really took
But it’s alright
Going be a long night

I do believe it’s true
We’re going to push on through
To the daylight

Jesus said to Buddha
“Man I like your style”
Buddha said to Jesus
“It’s a shame about your trial”
But it’s alright
Going be a long night

We all sit in the docket
Jury gives the news
There’s sadly no escaping
From these melancholy blues
But it’s alright
Going be a long night

I do believe it’s true
We’re going to push on through
To the daylight

Sacrificial virgins
Sacrificial lambs
Everyone’s got problems
No one gives a damn
Out here on this road
It seems we’ve lost our way
Stranded in the desert
With nothing left to say


Everyone’s a prophet
Everyone’s a seer
Confidently speaking
With a pocketful of tears
But it’s alright
Going be a long night

I been to New York City
I been to London Town
I’m going to keep on searching
Till they put me in the ground

But it’s alright
Going be a long night
I do believe it’s true
We’re going to push on through
To the daylight
