Darker Love

Gotta build my fences high
Too high for you to see me cry
High enough to block out you
Too high for you to see my point of view

And still the smell from your backyard
Your children crying and your dogs bark
Your singing and your music tracks
Come through the wall come through the cracks

I don’t want to hear your songs
You and I can’t sing along
I’d rather hear a pretty lie
I’d rather let the music die

Must be a Darker Love (x5)
Than my mother gave to me
Must be a Darker Love (x5)
Than what we’re used to seeing

You love to say you what’s true and right
Fingers tapping through night
Tell us all just what to do
Even Jesus couldn’t follow you

No one ever cared so much
You silver tongue and golden touch
You love everything and everyone
But you love like a soldier and a loaded gun

Must be a Darker Love (x5)
Than my Daddy gave to me
Must be a Darker Love (x5)
Than what we’re used to seeing

A mountain before us
A jungle behind
It’s a tangle of vines
or a hill to climb
So get in line
There’s river behind me
An ocean ahead
You say I can’
And I can’t swim
But I’m going in
