Bright as the Day - Darlingside

Out in the water with weeds in our hair

Whistling songs that we spun from the air

I saw the shape of a ghost in the waves

Dead as the sea foam, bright as the day

Bright as the day

Move through the summers when we were young

Held to the fire, the way of the sun

Lights on the fog over Bay of Bengal

I turned down and they stayed on

Bright as the day

Out in the backyard, earth in our teeth

Whistling songs that we learned in our sleep

I heard the sound of a ghost in the night

Scraped up dirt and monsoon skies

Over Calcutta, I’m drifting alone

Naked and empty as the day I was born

Held to the fire, a moth in the flame

Dead as the sea foam, bright as the day
