Darling Be Home Soon

Belle And Sebastian · Other Songs - Belle And Sebastian

Come

And talk of all the things we did today

Here

And laugh about our funny little ways

While we have a few minutes to breathe

Then I know that it's time you must leave



But darling be home soon

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled

My darling be home soon

It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to



And now

A quarter of my life is almost past

I think I've come to see myself at last

And I see that the time spent confused

Was the time that I spent without you

And I feel myself in bloom



So darling be home soon

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled

My darling be home soon



It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to



[Instrumental break]

Darling be home soon

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled

My darling be home soon

It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to



Go

And beat your crazy head against the sky

Try

And see beyond the houses and your eyes

It's ok to shoot the moon



So darling

My darling be home soon

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled

My darling be home soon

It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to

Darling Be Home Soon

Darling Be Home Soon stands as a quintessential example of Belle and Sebastian's introspective indie pop style. The track captures the band's signature blend of melancholic melodies and gentle instrumentation, hallmarks that have defined their discography since the mid-1990s. While the song appears outside their primary studio albums in this context, its composition reflects the delicate songwriting and understated production values characteristic of the group's broader catalogue. The recording showcases the band's ability to craft intimate soundscapes that resonate with listeners familiar with their work on landmark records like Tigermilk and Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant. This piece remains a testament to their enduring influence within the indie genre, offering a moment of quiet reflection amidst their extensive body of work.
