Darling
[Verse 1]
Really can't remember where I left my spine
Carrying my body and a bag full of dimes
Hidden in the pages of the New York Times at home
And maybe I'll be better if I take my meds
Ain't a doubleheader if you lose your head
Try the medication that I bought instead
It's workin' for a little but there's not much left
[Chorus]
Darling, don't you weep
There's a place for me
Somewhere we can sleep
See you in your dreams
[Verse 2]
Ever since a little girl, I found this sweet
Driving past the graveyard on a lonesome street
All the little flowers gave me something to believe in
Never knew the feeling of a stable home
Been a couple years of living on the road
Couldn't really tell you where they'd leave a stone to visit me when I am dead and gone
[Chorus]
Darling, don't you weep
There's a place for me
Somewhere we can sleep
See you in your dreams
[Post-Chorus]
Darling, don't you cry
Head fast toward the light
Foolish men have tried
But only you have showed me how to love being alive
[Bridge]
Until it's time to see the light, I'll make my own with you each night
I'll kidnap all the stars and I will keep them in your eyes
I'll wrap them up in velvet twine
And hang 'em from a fishing line
So I can see them anytime I like
[Chorus]
Darling, don't you weep
There's a place for me
Somewhere we can sleep
I'll see you in your dreams
[Post-Chorus]
Darling, don't you cry
Head fast toward the light
Foolish men have tried
But only you have showed me how to love being alive
