Dear Darcy

(album: B-Sides It's Dark Outside - 2006)

Well, dear Darcy
How do I even start?
These plain and broken hearts
How I left you in the cold, dear

Dear Darcy
Do you remember when
White lights & wedding bells
As we danced across the floor, love?

Don't you fret
I'll be home soon
My boss says maybe a couple of days
Just gotta figure out what we're doing
And I'll be back in your arms to stay

Well, dear Darcy
How are the children now?
How I miss their sound
When I come home after work, dear

Yeah, dear Darcy
Don't you worry at all
I'll be home at fall
With tales of love and glory

They have us on some secret mission
Across and way passed enemy lines
But I'll be home before you know it
Opening gifts, early at Christmas time

Well, dear Darcy
Supplies are running down
And I highly doubt
That I'll see your face again, love

Yeah, dear Darcy
Kiss the children for me
And tell them their daddy
Will be watching them from heaven

I never thought
That I'd be choosing
Between your kisses and this gun
But the president, he seems so determined
To finish what his father never won
To finish what his father never won
Yeah, to finish what his father never won
