Darlin' Do Not Fear

When I arrived in my own 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 in these 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 this place on the mantle my heart was taken down

Scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground

And out below the streetlamp like an orphan with a halo

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know

'Cause it won't last - the worries will 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

The confidence is full with your faith etched in stone

And I let clean comfort you from the wild unknown

So bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in 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 or to let 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 will 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 you're forced to fit 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 own 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
