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 harkening

off to a time and place now lost in our imagination



where you don't complain- but you still do

and you don't explain-but you still want to-explain

where you believe what 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 prarie winds, come in

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

here in a time and place not lost in our imagination



where you don't explain-but you still do

and you can 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

O' and you're the darkest one

and if that's what you want

O' then you're the darkest one
