lyrics

Rake lines in dead grass
Snow fell down and froze ‘em like that
Goose flying over fields, we’re running past

Salt stains on sidewalks
Sun tells a different story than the clock
Bear in her bed, keeps on napping

Ooh
Daylight is longer than dark, keep marching
The steady rhythm of our charge
Ooh
Daylight is longer than dark
We persist
Until we finish what we started

Buck 49 for daffodils
Filling up the room with their yellow smell
Take your time when you get weary
Filling up on coffee and nicotine
Read books, turn off the tv
Pretty soon your back to taking chances

Ooh
Daylight is longer than dark, keep marching
The steady rhythm of our charge
Ooh
Daylight is longer than dark
We persist
Until we finish what we started

Rake lines in dead grass
Oooh
