Daylight Katy

Gordon Lightfoot

She walks be the sea where the seaworld is

And she waits for the man to come

She lives in town with her high-heeled friends

And she knows it's a long way down

But she doesn't have to get up in the morning

With her hair so soft and long



Daylight Katy come on

Daylight Katy come on

If you can't follow me down

Daylight Katy go home



Daylight Katy come on

Daylight Katy come on

If you can't follow me down

Daylight Katy go home



She walks to the sea where the seaweed is

Where the rust and the dirt runs deep

She lives nine lives in her midnight world

While her old man's fast asleep

And she doesn't have to get up in the mornin'

With her hair so soft and long



Daylight Katy come on

Daylight Katy come on

If you can't follow me down

Daylight Katy go home



Daylight Katy come on

Daylight Katy come on

If you can't follow me down

Daylight Katy go home



She lives by the sea when the summer wind comes

And the sea don't mind at all

She talks to the sea when the sea runs wild

And the waves run steep and tall

And she doesn't have to get up in the mornin'

With her hair so soft and long



Daylight Katy come on

Daylight Katy come on

If you can't follow me down

Daylight Katy go home



Daylight Katy come on

Daylight Katy come on

If you can't follow me down

Daylight Katy go home
