My Darling Among Them Devils a song

My Darling Among Them Devils....a nutty song written on myspace for a guy

My Darling Among Them Devils


Let's see: Verse 1

Oh, my darling went north one dark cloudy day
To work with the yankees and such
To work in the factory to make us some money
And oh, Lord, I miss him so much.

Verse 2

Now, we've been a living with his momma and daddy
For nigh on about thirteen years
And we dream of having our own little trailer
But he never could find a job here.


Chorus

Oh, darling, my darling among all them devils
Up there in the cold all alone
Don't let them yankees change you, little darling
Work hard and then hurry on home.


Verse 3

Down here in the South, we're so loving and giving
Up there in the North, I've heard tell
That all of them yankees are cold hearted strangers
And most of them came straight from hell.


Verse 4

Your momma has baked you a big ole opossum
Your daddy has brewed you some "shine"
We miss you so much, dear, down here in the holler
Tell them yankee gals you are mine!


Chorus

Oh, darling, my darling among all them devils
Up there in the cold all alone
Don't let them yankees change you, little darling
Work hard and then hurry on home.


spoken sad part:

Oh, darlin', my darlin', among all them devils
A drankin' and livin carefree
Send me your paycheck or you'll find, little darlin
That they aint half as devilish as me.....

A Thousand Words





A Thousand Words


A thousand words
On twenty-five balled up pieces of paper later
I still have no idea how to say
What needs to be said
What should have been said
A hundred heartbreaks ago.

It 's just so hard
To find the words to properly convey
A tender farewell
A loving tone and a gentle goodbye
That will not wound
Someone already walking wounded.

I start and stop
Rewrite a refrain, revise an old rhyme
Throw in some honkey tonk lyrics
Soften it all with some bubblegum pop
And images of violins playing softly in the background.

I don't know why I bother
You would only sneer at the above stanza
It's heavy metal and anarchist beats you love
Punk rock so loud your eardrums bleed
And anything to do with pain. Especially mine.

See how my little hands shake?
I can hardly hold a pencil
I can barely see to write
My eyes are black, my soul is bruised
And I sit here trying not to hurt you.

If I could talk, I wouldn't
For that only makes you mad
Only makes you crazy..er than usual
When you walk through the door
Hell bent for hating and still needing love.

I don't know what happened to you
To make you be this way
To make you into a hollow man
But I've got to find a way to go
Before there's no me left.

I hear your footsteps now
Coming up the stairs
Hear you rehearsing new slurs
That you haven't used yet
Though their cold jagged points
 Have already hit home.

I hide the balls of paper
Underneath the bed
Throw the pencil into a drawer
Brush the tears from my cheeks
And turn up the corners of my mouth into a hideous smile
As you and your pain walk into the room.

A thousand words
Form in my brain
A thousand words stick on my tongue
I look at you and remember how you used to be
Before you let down your guard and took off your mask
You look so alone, so small and alone
But tomorrow, for sure, I'm writing that letter.

Pillow Talk

 



Pillow Talk



We said our good-nights
And turned our backs
But the love refused to let us go
And slowly, without forethought,
We curled back into the form of one

Arms and legs entwined, so close
We could not then tell you from me
On the softness of the pillow's silk
We spoke in hushed lullabies
To one another's hearts

Feeling newly born like children
That have discovered 
Something magical,
Something enchanting
And cannot put it away and go to sleep.

Let's play some more............
