Daylight's Wasting

Washington square's right up the street

That was the place where we would meet

Outside the dog run, don't be late

Most of the time I'd sit and wait



Looking at people pass me by

A customer's bagging his supply

Just as you thought she wouldn't show

There she comes running, don't you know?



Oh, daylight's wasting

Your daylight

Yeah, I can taste it

It falls from the sky



I had a band of certain fame

"The brownstone walk ups", was our name

Singer was fair but got it wrong

He never did justice to my songs



He did more for me and that's a fact

When he went and stabbed me in the back

So, I've gotta do now, don't you know?

What I should have done five years ago



Do, his daylight's wasting

Daylight, yes, I can taste it

As it falls from the sky



Daylight's wasting, day light

Daylight

'Cause daylight's wasting

Daylight, daylight

As it falls from the sky



Daylight's wasting

Daylight
