From the recording menko
From vocalist Diana Sterling...
“I’m an LA based studio singer who happened to hear this song and thought it was a great opportunity to share this subject from a victim’s perspective.”
Lyrics
Wasn't right for him to take me
from the innocence I knew
Stripped me of my youth
and all that I might be
to feed his need and lack of virtue
Wake me from this dark memory,
Daylight, don't make me wait
I've been so long without the refuge of daylight
Drag me from this tainted gutter
to a warm and safer place
Draw me from a life
where everyone I meet
has his hands and face
Deliver me from this dark night,
Daylight, don't make me wait
I've been too long without the care of daylight
And If I knew all I know now
I would have disobeyed
But he was more to me like family
-never dreamed that I could have run run run run run away
Daylight, don't make me wait
can’t be too long for me to be free
Daylight, don't make me wait
Still the keeper of the secret
and living in the shadow of its cold and shameful history
Deliver me
Don’t make me wait
-can't be too long to feel the ease of daylight
Deliver me
Gonna get through these nights
Daylight, don't keep me waiting
Deliver me
so long without
-I'm ready for the day to break
-and if I knew all I know....
