Darling

Won't you hold me through the shakes darlin'?

Well, it's fine if you cut and run

At first light of a cresting sun

Right now I'm feenin'

And if you're still in town

When my better days roll around

We'll heat this ground and dance like two hearts bleedin'

The city is so loud and the hotel kicked me out

Do you think that she's still proud of lookin' down

The world got so confusin' 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 its more than you can take

And when you wake you'll still be my darling

And when you wake I'm yours to take, darling

Let me have my bloody knuckles

All my nights of dark cold trouble

When I was through I was hopin' you might wait for me

Laid 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

But 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 its 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 its more than you can take

And when you wake you'll still be my darling

When you wake I'm yours to take, darling
