Lyrics for Darlin' One

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 And 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
