The Darkest One

Come in, come in, come in, come in

From under these darling skies come in

It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening

Off to a time and place now lost on our imagination

Where you don't complain but you still do

And you don't explain if you want to explain

What you believe you say without shame, "I just do"

To say what you mean you don't mean what you say or you do

Where the wild are strong

And the strong are the darkest ones

And you're the darkest one

Come in, come in, come in, come in

From thin and wicked prairie winds come in

It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening

Here in a time and place not lost on our imagination

Where you don't explain but you still do

And you can't complain if you want to complain

Where you're real instrumental or supple or sexy as hell

Where you say, "I believe" or say without shame, “I can't tell”

Where the wild are strong

And the strong are the darkest ones

And you're the darkest one

Oh you're the darkest one

And if that's what you want

Oh then you're the darkest one
