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
