My Darling Belle

If I fell to my knees
And turned my head away
Would you hide from me?
Would you hide from me?
When that day comes by
Would you hide from me?

If I turn the steeples black
And feasted on this day,
Would you comfort me?
Would you comfort me?
When that day comes by
Would you comfort me?

And when I try to keep the ghost
That's burning through my day
And the smoke that stains the street
Won't keep her scent away
Won't you cry for me?
Won't you cry for me?
Won't you cry for me?

Cause down beneath all troubled man
Cowards a lonely man
With the world upon his back
And his courage in his hand
Won't you comfort me?
Won't you comfort me?
Won't you comfort me?

Cause I've been running in and out
Of all this troubled painted red
Fire rages in my feet
Leaving blazing sorrow burned out on the street

Cause I'm drunk with pints again
I'm drunk with bitter rage
I'm frightened of the fall
But wrapped up in it's gaze

Oh my love, oh my my love, oh my my love
You're my darling Belle,
You're my darling darling Belle
You're my darling Belle
You're my darling Belle babe

When the world becomes too close
For me to see from the inside
When I'm wrapped in cryptic chains
Would you see for all their lies?
Won't you speak for me?
Won't you speak for me?
Won't you lay down your words and speak for me?

When my riches turn to rags
And I'm dead from time to time
Could I rest my weary head
Could I swing upon the vine
That you hold for me
Oh that you hold for me
That you hold that you hold that you hold for me

Cause I've been wondering in and out
Of all this troubled painted red
Fire rages at my feet
Leaving blazing sorrow burn out on my street

Cause I'm drunk with pints again
I'm drunk with bitter rage
I'm frightened of the fall
But wrapped up in it's gaze

Oh my love, oh my my love, oh my my love, oh my my love
You're my darling Belle
You're my darling darling Belle
You're my darling Belle
You're my darling Belle
You're my darling Belle babe
