Hey there, big as night
I think I'll call him Daylight
And I'll call him once, with a little song
He's got nothing on
He comes naked with the dawn
And I know that I will call him Daylight
Knock once, and now knock twice
The moon is sacrificed
To the one that they call Daylight

Rosie, my old friend
You've been a long time coming
I called all night, but I was afraid
You come at such a time
As you see fit, no compromise
That's why I call you Daylight
Moving nevermore
Though our children go to war
Some call you destroyer, some Daylight

And I'm not gonna dance, I'm not gonna dance
I'm not gonna dance until my ship comes in
But when my ship comes in, when my ship comes in
When my ship comes in I'm gonna lose control

Oh, my soul
Now you own it
And you call it by the name Daylight
Now do you know me
Your one and only
I'm glad for you to call me Daylight
