The Dark It Comes

(album: Love Songs - 2013)

[Refrain]
The sun rolls slowly down again
The dark it comes but I can't say when

[Carl Barât]
Sweetness sit down
I've got something to say
I fucked up again in a terrible way
I'm a long way from home
I've done wrong I'm afraid
But I need you to remember the pact that we made

[Vanessa Paradis]
Tell me dear lover things can't be that bad
This won't be the first time that you make me sad
But if you have done what I think it may be
Your words will be worthless and you will be free

[Refrain]

[Carl Barât]
Love twisted me up with its passion and claws
Now it haunts me to madness with the ghost of remorse
She was evil harlot who threatened our cause
And now she lies here on the bathroom floor

[Vanessa Paradis]
Oh lord please have mercy! Oh what did you do
You did this to hurt me tell me it's not true
I know that you fucked her and that's what it's worth
Was she better than me? Your heart must be cursed

[Refrain]

[Carl Barât & Vanessa Paradis]
I'm lonely I'm lost and I'm wild at sea
Won't you please let me in, I can barely breathe
I'm broken I'm lonely I'm lost as can be
But darling darling it has to be

[Carl Barât]
I was lonely and foolish she was nothing to me
Like a moth to a candle I was too drunk to see
My sweetness my sweetness I was just a boy
And now I'm a killer my life is destroyed

[Vanessa Paradis]
Oh come to me baby she was nothing to us
She's no longer around it was just your drunk lust
Whatever you did there's a pact that we made
From the day we first kissed till we lie in our graves

[Refrain x2]
