Lyrics
Darlin' One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The smell of man that now scents your wings
And with that, brings a change in things
Banished forever from the sacred nest
On your snow-white breast
I feel there's still unrest
I said, hey, darlin' one
Your time has come
Hey, darlin' one
Five hundred midnights since have passed
Since I held you fast
You were safe at last
Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame
So young and tame
I was to blame
N' I call your name, darlin' one
Your time has come
I said hey, darlin' one
Your time has just begun
I cupped my hands around you
And I swore you would fly
My tears fell through the dirt
As I heaved you to the sky
And I heard, darlin' one
Your time has come
Your time has come
Hey, darlin', darlin', darlin' one
Hey, darlin' one, your time has come
