The Replacements - Darlin' One lyrics

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 pa**ed 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
