Darlin’ Do Not Fear by Brett Dennen
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 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 – your 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
Your confidences fall, is your faith etched in stone? Neither can 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 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 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
