Daisy Mae Songtext
von Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Lay down beside me
Close your eyes and feel the noonday sun
These eyes, they remind me
Of a scared and simple doe before she runs

John was a Baptist
He feared the world could end at any time
You and I are charged with this, to hold the essence of a kiss
To take these broken plans and make them rhyme

Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae this hasn′t been your day
Hasn't been your day


Here he never touched you
Inside this house he never called your name
So stay where I can see you, girl
We both know the outside world
Has changed and it will never be the same

My hands, they are wicked
My head and my heart are wicked, too
All these things that I do wrong
If you weren′t given fear so strong
I would not be good enough for you

Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day

But I won't lay this pistol down
Until the sky falls to the ground
Leave him there to call your name
′Till man and land are both the same

Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn′t been your day
Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this hasn't been your day
Hasn′t been your day
