Darling, Don’t Take Me When You’re Ready to Go Lyrics by MAITA

Best Wishes

2020

Evening, it falls like a parachute twisted
The daytime thoughts sifted through dust
Something it glinted, it shone for a moment
A dying light begged to be caught
Candles burned down and we routed ourselves
By the sounds the insects in the ground
I fight to be free and I fight not to care
But the water is gone and next is the air
On and on, you say this can’t go on
On and on, my dear, it won’t be long
Morning, it breaks, we’re alive, but we’re lost
The dust killed our garden quicker than frost
You say, 'Adeline, you will always be mine
I brought you here, I’ll get you out when it’s time
For I’ve never seen your dress so unclean
And your wedding band makes ghosts of your hands
They used to play for me, now they just pray for me
Poor sweet thing, what I’ve made you believe'
On and on, you say this can’t go on
On and on, my dear, it won’t be long
But darling, don’t take me when you’re ready to go
I may be a fool, but I’m no child, I can be left alone
Fear took a form, never seen such a sight
Oh half past noon and black as night
You put your hand on the box of the gun
As we gaze at the storm with nowhere to run
From that day on, you kept close to that gun
One eye on the sky, half-dead and half-drunk
Swore on your life and on all that you had
That I’d never be without my man
Close your eyes, the storm will make you blind
Close your eyes, I’m here right by your side
Close your eyes and take my kindness
Close your pretty eyes, we cannot fight this
But darling, don’t take me when you’re ready to go
I am such a fool, but I’m no child, I can be left alone
And I too miss the money
and I miss the honey
And how you once touched me, it’s gone, it’s gone
But I’d rather shed my tears alone in this forsaken room
Than sleep now forever with you
