Darlin' One - The Replacements

The smell of man that now scents your wings

And with that brings a change in things

Banished forever from the sacred nest

On your snow-white breast

I feel there's still unrest

I said hey darlin' one

Your time has come

Hey darlin' one

Five hundred midnights since have passed

Since I held you fast

You were safe at last

Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame

So young and tame

I was to blame

N' I call your name darlin' one

Your time has come

I said hey darlin' one

Your time has just begun

I cupped my hands around you

And I swore you would fly

My tears fell through the dirt

As I heaved you to the sky

And I heard Darlin' one

Your time has come

Your time has come

Hey darlin' darlin' darlin' one

Hey darlin' one your time has come
