I saved some daylight yesterday
and popped it in a jar.
Last night I saw it run away–
I hope it won’t go far.

I hope it hasn’t found a beach
to rest beneath the sun.
I think I’d be much happier
If darkness were to run.

If darkness were to run away
and hide without a peep,
I’d really only miss when
I’m tired and need to sleep.
