Title: Daylight s Wasting
Artist: Savoy
Music and Lyrics: Lauren and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy
This is pretty close I think but amendments and corrections are always welcome.
( x2)
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 when you thought she wouldn t show
there she comes running, don t you know
Daylight s wasting
Daylight
And I can taste it
( x2)
as it falls from the sky
I had a band of certain fame,
the Brownstone Walk-Ups was our name.
The singer was fair but got it wrong,
he never did justice to my songs.
He did 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 ve done five years ago.
Daylight s wasting
Daylight
And I can taste it
as it falls from the sky
