My Darling Belle

If I fell to my knees

And turned my head away

Would you hide from me?

Would you hide from me?

When that day comes by

Would you hide from me?

If I turn the steeples black

And feasted on this day,

Would you comfort me?

Would you comfort me?

When that day comes by

Would you comfort me?

And when I try to keep the ghost

That's burning through my day

And the smoke that stains the street

Won't keep her scent away

Won't you cry for me?

Won't you cry for me?

Won't you cry for me?

Cause down beneath all troubled man

Cowards a lonely man

With the world upon his back

And his courage in his hand

Won't you comfort me?

Won't you comfort me?

Won't you comfort me?

Cause I've been running in and out

Of all this troubled painted red

Fire rages in my feet

Leaving blazing sorrow burned out on the street

Cause I'm drunk with pints again

I'm drunk with bitter rage

I'm frightened of the fall

But wrapped up in it's gaze

Oh my love, oh my my love, oh my my love

You're my darling Belle,

You're my darling darling Belle

You're my darling Belle

You're my darling Belle babe

When the world becomes too close

For me to see from the inside

When I'm wrapped in cryptic chains

Would you see for all their lies?

Won't you speak for me?

Won't you speak for me?

Won't you lay down your words and speak for me?

When my riches turn to rags

And I'm dead from time to time

Could I rest my weary head

Could I swing upon the vine

That you hold for me

Oh that you hold for me

That you hold that you hold that you hold for me

Cause I've been wondering in and out

Of all this troubled painted red

Fire rages at my feet

Leaving blazing sorrow burn out on my street

Cause I'm drunk with pints again

I'm drunk with bitter rage

I'm frightened of the fall

But wrapped up in it's gaze

Oh my love, oh my my love, oh my my love, oh my my love

You're my darling Belle

You're my darling darling Belle

You're my darling Belle

You're my darling Belle

You're my darling Belle babe
