Lyrics
Haunted in Daylight © 2013 Ken Kahn and Vince Costanzo
I'm lying on the ceiling, my world's turned around
My thought's in the sky with you
You're running in the distance, the wind's only sound
A shadow, black on blue
It's there out my window
It's here in my stare
I don't know how to let you go
Now I'm a stranger in a place I used to know
We're crying on rooftops, now everyone cares
These feelings are bound to fade
You walked right to the edge and just vanished there
Into the thin air of day
Was there an angel who reached out and place you
Right into another life?
Was there a miracle just out of sight
More than a messenger in white?
Haunted in daylight
I can hear every word
No please, I can't let you go
Now I'm a stranger in a place I used to know
I hear it in the ocean and clouds whipping by
A sadness that's here to stay
We've scattered the ashes but the memories remain
In the bloody sun of another day
You're there in my mirror
You're here in my blood
Who am I if I let you go?
I'm just a stranger in a place I used to know
