Song Lyrics

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

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

Where the wild are strong (Wild are strong)
And the strong are the darkest ones (The strong are the darkest ones)
And you're the darkest one

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

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'

Where the wild are strong (Wild are strong)
And the strong are the darkest ones (The strong are the darkest ones)
And you're the darkest one
And you're the darkest one
And if that's what you want
Oh then you're the darkest one
