Counting Crows - Daylight Fading Lyrics






Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside
And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive
Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you
It's getting cold in California
I guess I'll be leaving soon

Daylight fading
Come and waste another year
All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
We leave just before it's gone

She said "everybody loves you,"
she says, "everybody cares"
But all the things I keep inside myself
they vanish in the air
If you tell me that you'll wait for me
I'll say I won't be here
I want to say good-bye to you
Good-bye to all my friends
Good-bye to everyone I know

Daylight fading
Come and waste another year
All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
We leave just before it's gone

  6. M.... P....

    This is a great video, especially when you watch with your eyes closed.

  7. J.... J....

    Hidden treasure song here, love these guys! Missed this one💙💜

  8. e.... m....

    53 for the jail

  9. d.... g....

    They don't make music like this anymore.

  10. J.... S....

    Don't take your life for granted: especially your younger days. Things can change for the worse. And, don't take your partner, spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend for granted. There is no guarantee that they will be with you for the rest of your life. That's the song's message.

  11. K.... N....

    Thx bro

  12. m.... ....

    I wanna say goodbye to you goodbye to all my friends goodbye to everyone I know. Deep lyrics!

  13. A.... J....

    The more times I hear this, the more I love it. This band had such a big effect on me in the 1990s. The band of the decade. Made me broaden my musical tastes and will forever be one of my absolute favourite artists. I know no better lyricist and the music is sublime.

  14. K.... N....

    Music 💚👨‍🚀👍

  15. N.... P....

    Serious love for this song here!!!! Listen to those lyrics! Tattoo them onto your hearts. I did...

  16. D.... C....

    fffffffffing love this songg

  17. R.... H....

    Genius song.

  18. D.... ....

  19. B.... S....

  20. P.... P....

    cool video

  21. D.... D....

    I can never stop jamming to this great music!! one of my favorite Bands of all time!!

  22. T.... B....

    A very cool, smooth sound live and in studio (no effects)

    T.... B....

    How real music should be, so much over produced shit these days.

    T.... B....

    Just a $5000 guitar ampfiier.

  23. T.... B....

    An expect example of "Mathchless" amps.

    T.... B....

    yes I am moved by Adam as well.Such a talent!I feel for him as I know what it's like to suffer from depression.Its an unfortunate trade-off with talent at a virtuoso level many great musicians have suffered and died after short but explosive careers Hendrix,Jim Morrison,Janis to name a few.Live long and enjoy your life Adam knowing that your music is unique and special! I cry when u sing goodnight Elizabeth.Love u Catherine Elizabeth Daddy is always here when u need me baby girl.So proud to be your father! My little kick boxing champion!!!

  24. R.... D....

    crows are all great,sound track of live life and early 20s,love ya

  25. A.... J....

    I still sing this one everyday out loud on my gardening round. God bless the crows and goodnight Elizabeth no more horse dreams

  26. o.... ....

    "...daylight fading...come and waste another year..."

  27. C.... W....

    I'm looking for the recording wherein he says "all the anger and the elegance"...this is not a misinterpretation, it actually happened. anyone have it? doesn't seem to be forthcoming on youtube or simple search. I first found that version of the song by trading b-sides in the 90's. lol. so old.

    C.... W....

    +Chloe W Try Across a Wire: Live From New York their double live album. I think that might be it. There's a great version of Have You Seen Me Lately? that I like better than the original that's worth checking out.

    C.... W....

    Daylight fading?

    C.... W....

    anger and the eloquence

  28. S.... S....

    (C) 2003 Cash Money Records, Inc.

  29. J.... A....

    Best song ever!!!! I wish I wrote it

  30. T.... Y....

    worst fucking song on the face of the planet

    T.... Y....

    Better and brighter than Radiohead.

    T.... Y....

    Haven't heard any pop music from the past ten years?

    T.... Y....

    Troll, get back under your bridge...

    T.... Y....

    Are you really serious? This is a beautiful song.

  31. A.... C....

    The 90 s have been over for way too long and I think maybe what happened... in retrospect.. . Is, Adam Duritz got all the free thinking beauty loving alt rock fans... which is um, quite an extensive shall I say demographic all too comatose melancholiac to anything intelligent hala lala lala

  32. R.... H....

    where did they go anyways? He had a few good hits!

    R.... H....

    +Rachelle Hermann Their new album, Somewhere Under Wonderland, is actually a pretty great return to form.

    R.... H....

    They never leave

    R.... H....

    They didn't go anywhere, they're still kicking. They're just not front and center.

    R.... H....

    Rachelle Hermanson a great band but theyburned themselves out I think

  33. W.... ....

    "All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear" -This will really happen if you let it.

  34. j.... d....

    how many years has this been out?..im still moved  by adam and his ability to bring me so high...and so very low...a lifelong love affair with his art

  35. l.... b....

    Its sad that this has not got more views

    l.... b....

    Because the majority of youtube users listen to shit like Drake or Some other BS. This right here is real music and im glad to see others noticing, through a lot of these awesome comments, that people see the dwindling effects of what they call music nowadays and seeing them still coming back to listen to songs like these!

    l.... b....

    rivercats58 well said

  36. j.... c....

    Absolutely amazingly beautiful in every aspect I can imagine.

    Well done guys, seriously.

  37. 1.... ....

    This song makes me think of people who constantly give up when things start to get just a little bad and miss out on all the good times and so just constantly live a life of saying goodbye to everything good that they have.  And so in the end spend their lives doing nothing.

    1.... ....

    Is it also possible that those same people leave before things become even worse. I've spent a lfetime trying to do the right thing by sticking around with little to show for it except heartache.

  38. S.... H....

    Speedcore?

  39. F.... P....

    On the rare occasion Adam Duritz isn't crying into his microphone, Counting Crows is a reasonably decent band. More of THIS please, Adam.

  40. n.... ....

    amazing song,first time ive heard it in years,counting crows are still a great band.

  41. b.... ....

    When i listen to this i usually get really drunk and just fuck loaves of bread while i cry hysterically into a megaphone in my apartment listening to it... am I losing it? my friend met this lead singer at sxsw and he was trying to mix in the crowd. we were like yea, sure, tarantula hair!

  42. M.... C....

    Memories of eighth grade homecoming

  43. s.... ....

    God i wanna know why are they not so famous !!! they deserve to be on the level of the other big bands!!

  44. c.... ....

    listening to cc always bright up my day. they're the best!

  45. M.... ....

    great song ...great time...

  46. K.... A....

    Perfect Song!"*

  47. S.... M....

    So tell me.
    Who else thinks of sunrise when they hear the words:
    "Daylight Fading?"
    -Am I right? Thumbs up if that isn't that more than a little weird?

  48. b.... ....

    "All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear..."
    Great lyrics,great harmonies, great music!

  49. J.... A....

    @GAdawgsfan93

    I totally agree... that vid would ruin somebodies life if they were on acid lamo! BUT check out "no rain" by blind melon. It's right up there with it. ull prob b glad i reminded u of that song too. i heard it for the first time in like 5 years earlier today and was SO pleased

  50. m.... ....

    love counting crows but vevo is such a stain i feel like a sellout for watching this ows!!!

  51. j.... ....

    @GAdawgsfan93 you haven't seen a tool music video have you

  52. t.... ....

    just watched the video and heard the lyrics, for some reason every lyric site on google has him singing "all the the anger...", but he clearly doesn't say "the" 2 times. Weird how folks hear the wrong lyrics.

  53. t.... ....

    @joshsnyder20000 what kind of lyric is "All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear "? is the the right lyric?

  54. K.... U....

    Come on people, I love the band too I mean I REALLY do, have all the albums, tshirts and caps etc. but lets agree on one thing, they can't make a video for shit!

    Although one of my fav songs, crap video.... Band is awesome live though

    K.... U....

    Scott Birse Thank you, I thought it was just me that didn't get this video. Love the song, love the band, just not the video.

  55. B.... ....

    Counting crows easy my favorite band, love Pink floyd and Oasis too. there are 3 people with seriosly no taste, They will never escape, just keep moving down the coast, maybe end up in peru or somewhere chewing coca leaves wonderin what went wrong. The crows can show you the way.

  56. B.... ....

    I have wasted thirty years, daylight definetly fading here.

  57. f.... ....

    MY FAVOURITE OFF THIS ALBUM! Man I haven't listened to this in SO long.. guess I'm having 90s night when I get home <3

  64. k.... ....

    all the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear!

  65. M.... ....
