lyrics

Darling, you're a wild thistled flower
wanna hold you, wanna touch you
but I don 't know how
You're deep rooted in your field
christened by the graces of dawn
O come on,
Darling

Darling, you're closed up like a door
when I knock, when i call, when I hoot and holler
you don't need me no more
But i just came here to say
I've written you a song
Darling,
about how I thought about you
all night long

I know it's hard to open up your heart
and tell me everything
When we lay down to bed
just put your head on my chest
and share with me your dreams,
Darling

When you come with a shiver up your spine
your flower's opening
Your care melts away to reveal
that everything's a dream
O, you know what i mean,
Darling

Darling, you lay there in your robe
with your breast exposed beneath the light
of this Autumn glow
I cave into your charms
run my hand across your arm
You let me in,
Darling

Darling, your smile is the light
you shared with me all that you have, you say
"Hey, stay the night"
But I just came here to say
I've written you a song,
Darling.
how i was right about you
all along

I know it's hard to open up your heart
and tell me everything
When we lay down to bed
Just put your head on my chest
and share with me your dreams
Darling

I know it's hard
to give away your heart
But promise me you will,
for me,
Darling
