Anthony Walker - Darlene

Staring at a question mark
You're faking, Jesus, you're parading in the dark
You spent the evening cruising for a spark
But there's no highway to the sun
When morning comes again, Darlene
We'll reach out and take a piece
Oh I swear this shadows not your enemy
Believe me, I believe in you, Darlene

I've always wondered what you'd think
You've read so many books you only dream in ink
And every time you let it go it sinks
Down some sad familiar page
The words are softer now, Darlene
Make adventure out of me
And if every chapter ends in misery
Believe me, I believe in you, Darlene

You're a little unimpressed
You left a message on a pack of cigarettes
If no one talks about how good it gets
Then how am I supposed to know?
If there's no telling now, Darlene
Your wheels are begging for concrete
Are you thinking up someplace you'd rather be
Believe me, I believe in you, Darlene

The time that we spend just keeping track
Who's over their head?
Who's under attack?
When I go, there will be no turning back

I built a stranger in my mind
I paint some pictures but they never come to life
Fixing you is like sharpening a knife
So I have nothing more to say
They'll turn on Channel 17
Watching from a window seat
And they'll say "Hey, I think I know you from TV"
But I'll say, "Believe me, I believed in you, Darlene"
