Oh Darlin'

from False Idols by Max Savage

/

lyrics

When I’m broken to the core
Won’t you annoint me with your tears
Won’t you breath into my veins
And let blood and darkness reign
Let me whisper secret songs
In the silence between words
Let me cry your name
Let me cry your name

Eyes like coal and a heart like fire
My tears my kiss my one desire
I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t got love
and I cain’t be running if I cain’t be free

When I’m breathless with the fever of a burning summer rain
When the season is the reason for the feelings that I own
And the light of all the stars is the slight of all my years
And the heavy smell of morning is the sum of all my fears

Oh Darling won’t you comfort me
Oh darling won’t you set me free
I won’t be followed and I won’t be led
Won’t you lay your single pillow on my double bed

And if you let me be your autumn I’ll let summer call your name
Won’t you let me tend the garden of the broken and the shamed
And I’ll roam out in the sunset of my bitter victories
With the tortured understanding of the better things I’ve been

And if I cover you with kisses and you cover me with stones
Heal my heavy heart with wishes and let hope be my reward
And if I had to carry you to heal your broken soul
Well I’d wander for a night time just to take you home

Oh Darling won’t you comfort me
Oh darling won’t you set me free
I won’t be followed and I won’t be led
Won’t you lay your single pillow on my double bed

When my worries are the flutter of a thousand kisses lost
When I’ve stolen what’s beholden when my knees are giving out
And if I was a footstep child I’d be a country road
And let boldness be my gavel and let hope be my reward

Oh Darling won’t you comfort me
Oh darling won’t you set me free
I won’t be followed and I won’t be led
Won’t you lay your single pillow on my double bed
