Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come in, come in, come in, come in
From under these darling skies, come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost harkening
Off to a time and place now lost on our imagination
[Verse 2]
Where you don't complain but you still do
And you don't explain if you want to explain
What you believe you say without shame, I just do
To say what you mean, you don't mean what you say or you do
[Verse 3]
Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one
[Verse 4]
Come in, come in, come in, come in
From thin and wicked prairie winds, come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening
Here in a time and place not lost on our imagination
[Verse 5]
Where you don't explain, but you still do
And you can complain if you want to complain
Where you're real instrumental or supple or sexy as hell
Where you say I believe or say without shame, I can't tell
[Verse 6]
Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one
[Verse 7]
Oh, you're the darkest one
And if that's what you want
Oh, then you're the darkest one
