Lucero - Darken My Door lyrics

Well don't you stop wasting time
Come back down the line
I'm right where you left me before
I can't say I've been behaved
You'd not believe me anyways
There's been other women, of course

So hold me to this one
I won't make the same mistakes anymore
Come on now darlin', please, darken my door

With me is where you belong
So bring yourself back home
We'll tear this town down to the ground
White water tavern nights
Old songs and cheap red wine
There's no finer mess to be found

I'll hold you to this one
I still hear your footsteps
Crossing the floor


Come on now darlin', please, darken my door

Your bare feet on hardwood
That barely make a sound
From the kitchen to the bedroom
With all the lights down
A glass of water, some whiskey
The smoke in your hair
All I taste is the perfume you wear
Oh, that perfume you wear

I don't expect that you will stay
Gone are the good old days
Damn weren't we sure something else?
I've caused enough trouble here
So girl, get it in high gear
And come save me from myself

We'll hold to this one
I still taste that god awful perfume you wore
Now we'll hold to this one
I won't make the same mistakes anymore
Come on now darlin', please, darken my door
(Alright) come on now darlin'
Come on now darlin'
Come on now darlin', please, darken my door
