Darling

Won't you hold me through the shakes darlin'?
Well, it's fine if you cut and run
At first light of the crestin' sun
But right now I'm feenin'

If you're still in town
When my better days roll around
We'll heat this ground and dance like two hearts bleedin'

This city is so loud and the hotel kicked me out
Do you think that she is still proud lookin' down?
The world got so confusin' I'm a tool for cheap amusement
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 darlin'
When you wake, I'm yours to take darlin'

Let me have my bloody knuckles
All my nights and dark cold trouble
When I was through, I was hopin' you might wait for me

They made me out to be
Somethin' I don't understand
How I am just a man, my darlin'

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 darlin'
When you wake, I'm yours to take darlin'

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 darlin'
When you wake, I'm yours to take darlin'
