|
When I arrived in my old set of clothes |
|
I was half a world away from my home |
|
And I was hunted by the wolves |
|
And I was heckled by the crows |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
Alongside my innocence, I laid in bed awake |
|
Conflicted and in chains with the impetus of age |
|
But like a phantom she crept |
|
Across the floor and out the window |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
From its place on the mantel, my heart was taken down |
|
Scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground |
|
And I, below the street lamp like an orphan with a halo |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
'Cause it won't last, worries'll pass |
|
All your troubles, they don't stand a chance |
|
And sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
Your confidences fall as your faith etched in stone |
|
Neither could comfort you from the wild unknown |
|
So bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul |
|
Find something to hold on to until they go |
|
To help you through the hard nights |
|
Like a flask filled with hope |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
'Cause it won't last, your worries'll pass |
|
All your troubles, they don't stand a chance |
|
And it always hurts the worst |
|
When it's the ones we love the most |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky |
|
Sometimes it falls too thin in between the lines |
|
Sometimes all that you can do is say no |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
I said when I arrived in my old set of clothes |
|
I was half a world away from my home |
|
And I was hunted by the wolves |
|
And I was heckled by the crows |
|
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
I said, darlin', do not fear what you don't really know |
|
We said, darlin', do not fear |
