lyrics

You knew from early dawn
How the day was getting on
Your fear outruns it
Now comes the sunset
It’s a thing of wonder
A rush of color
With the ideal view
And the best that you can do
Is to gaze into the sunlight
Gaze into the sun
Preparing for that one night
When your face is pale and drawn
And your faith has left and gone
And your fate is looking on just like the cat inside the window

Your age, it suits you well
Routines and rituals
The days soar past
And now comes your last (No no!)
Don’t dream you’re powerless
Just because your hourglass
Is bottom heavy
Your head’s so far from empty
As you stare into the sunlight
Stare into the sun
So hard to see it done right
When your made of breath and brawn
And your mate has left and gone
Your maker’s looking on just like the cat inside the window

Stare into the sunlight
Stare into the sun
So many days undone by
Those stairs that took you down
And those stares that shook the ground
The stars just look around just like the cat inside the window

about

The Daylilies Massachusetts

The Daylilies are a new band composed of living relics of Boston rock and roll history, including ex-members of the Fast Easy Women, Mistle Thrush, Reverse, PermaFrost & the Feather Lungs. Their sound can most easily be described as “pop,” though electronic rock, post-grunge and new wave are also frequently accurate. Triangulation finds their sound somewhere between Garbage, The Cars and Low. ... more
