Brett Dennen - Darlin' Do Not Fear lyrics

rate me

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 estranged 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 streetlamp like an orphan with a halo

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

cuz 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 onto 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

cuz 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 fails to fit in between the lines

sometimes all 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…
