Darlin' Do Not Fear

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 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 '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
