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
