Darken My Door

[Verse 1]

Well don't you stop wasting time

Come back down the line

I'm right where you left me before

I can't say I've been behaved

You'd not believe me anyways

There's been other women, of course

[Chorus]

So hold me to this one

I won't make the same mistakes anymore

Come on now darlin', please darken my door

[Verse 2]

With me is where you belong

So bring yourself back home

We'll tear this town down to the ground

White water tavern nights

Old songs and cheap red wine

There's no finer mess to be found

[Chorus]

I'll hold you to this one

I still hear your footsteps crossing the floor

Come on now darlin', please darken my door

[Bridge]

Your bare feet on hardwood, that barely make a sound

From the kitchen to the bedroom, with all the lights down

A glass of water, some whiskey, the smoke in your hair

All I taste is the perfume you wear

Oh, that perfume you wear

[Verse 3]

I don't expect that you will stay

Gone are the good old days

Damn weren't we sure something else?

I've caused enough trouble here

So girl, get it in high gear

And come save me from myself

[Chorus]

We'll hold to this one

I still taste that god awful perfume you wore

Now we'll hold to this one

I won't make the same mistakes anymore

Come on now darlin', please darken my door

(Alright!)

Come on now darlin'

Come on now darlin'

Come on now darlin', please darken my door
