[Verse 1]
(In the light of day)
In the light of day when the whiskey and the darkness
(In the light of day)
Are a world away
I sit here with my coffee
(In the light of day)
And a good guitar
And a rhythm that I'm liking
A feast is on the table
In the light of day
(In the light of day)

[Verse 2]
(In the light of day)
In the light of day
When I'm wide awake and rested
(In the light of day)
My demons pray
At the altar where my head is bowed
(In the light of day)
And I raise a tune
In both hands like and offering
I'm singing in the cantation
In the light of day
(In the light of day)
