Darling

(альбом: American Heartbreak - 2022)

Won't you hold me through the shakes, darling?
Well, it's fine if you cut and run
At first light of the cresting sun
But right now I'm fiending
And if you're still in town
When my better days roll around
We'll heat this ground
And dance like two hearts bleeding

This city is so loud and the hotel kicked me out
Do you think that she's still proud looking down?
The world got so confusing, I'm a tool for cheap amusement
And they all hate me from here to Tennessee

So hold me through the shakes, although it's more than I can take
There ain't no choice for damaged boys like me
Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than you can take
And when you wake, you'll still be my darling
When you wake, I'm yours to take, darling

Let me have my bloody knuckles
All my nights and dark cold trouble
When I was through I was hoping
You might wait for me
They made me out to be
Something I don't understand
How I am just a man, my darling

Now I'm lost in Denver
With a postcard I could send ya
But I don't know of any good it'd do
So I'll photograph the lights
'Cause they remind me of your eyes
And pray for you until I untangle this blue

Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than I can take
There ain't no choice for damaged boys like me
Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than you can take
And when you wake, you'll still be my darling
When you wake, I'm yours to take, darling

Well, hold me through the shakes, although it's more than I can take
There ain't no choice for damaged boys like me
Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than you can take
And when you wake, you'll still be my darling
When you wake, I'm yours to take, darling
