.

I've been fumbling with your heartstrings

and that's good enough for me

And if I've rained on one of your hours

then I know I must be working

Try it on for size, my darling

See what a man you can make of me

I will eventually haunt you

or you'll eventually be my queen

And I'll be with you through the dark

So that you do not go through the dark alone

Or on your own

.

I been down Biloxi Parish and

that's all the same to me

I've found that nothing truly matters

that you cannot find for free

I love you more than I can tell you,

And when you pass through from this world

I hope you ask to take me with you or

that I won't have to wait too long

But until then I'll be with you through the dark

Yes, until then I'll be with you through the dark

.

And who else can say that about you baby?

Who else can say that about you now?

And who else can take all your blood and your curses?

Nobody I've seen you hanging around

Seen you hanging around

.

And all of my heroes were failures or ghosts

Burned out in brilliant explosions alone

And all of the blood and the sweat that they gave

Well, we took it all and we threw it away

.

And who else can say that about you baby?

Who else can say that about you now?

And who else can take all your blood and your curses?

Nobody I've seen you hanging around

.

And who else can say that about you baby?

Who else can say that about you now?

And who else can take all your blood and your curses?

Nobody I've seen you hanging around

Seen you hanging around
