Jake Briggs - Darling, Let Me Hold You

The ones who said they loved me
Left me blue and lonely
The ones who never told me
Couldn't keep their secrets kept
I'm all through understanding
Stoned on lust and brandy
Darling, let me hold you once again

Darling, let me hold you
Darling, let me kiss you
Darling, let me love you once again
Darling, let me hold you
Darling, let me kiss you
Darling, let me love you once again

Would our love taste as tender
If your kisses weren't stolen
When they ask for a confession
I'm the thief
I'm all through understanding
Stoned on lust and brandy
Darling, let me hold you once again

I walk the city aimless
Having taken good directions
I wait in line to order
Every drink and diner breakfast
I'm all through understanding
Stoned on lust and brandy
Darling, let me hold you once again

I say this not of bravery
But because youth is fleeting
Wiser now I know to ask
The bus driver my question
I'm all through understanding
Stoned on lust and brandy
Darling, let me hold you once again

The wealthy and the destitute
Can't control their gunmen
Or maybe that would make the gunmen
A little too expensive
I'm all through understanding
Stoned on lust and brandy
Darling, let me hold you once again

If I don't make the last train
I'm gonna sleep by the horizon
Where the sun might wake and
With the tide turn me inland
I'm all through understanding
Stoned on lust and brandy
Darling, let me hold you once again

I pity princesses
So often dejected
Looking at their charming
Prince's mistresses
I'm all through understanding
Stoned on lust and brandy
Darling, let me hold you once again
