Sweet Light of Day

Sweet light of day

Save me from myself

Darkness in dismay

Pay, to keep it on a shelf

Sweet light of day

Pray for me

Safe and away 

See and dismay

The sweet light of day

May cover grave mistakes

Bake in fire

Ashes of empire

Seen, by sweet light of day

I say dissolve in your arms

Far from simple charms

Oh sweet light of day

I may be lead astray

But not under your hopeful rays

Sweet light of day

I may carry this noose

Feel strange

No helpful change, if not by

Sweet light of day
