 I've been fondling with your heart strings

 And that's good enough for me

 And if I break over your house

 And I know I must been working

 Try it on for size my darling

 See what a man you can make of me

 I will eventually haunt you

 And you'll eventually will be my queen,

 And I've been with you through the dark

 So that you won't

 Go through the dark alone

 On your own

 I've been down Biloxi Parish

 And that's good enough for me

 I found that nothing truly matters

 That you cannot find for free

 I love you more than can I tell you

 When you pass through from this world

 I hope you ask to take me with you

 So I don't have to wait too long

 But until then I'll be with you through the dark

 Yes until then I'll be with you through the dark

Who else can say that about you, baby?

Who else can say that about you, now?

Who else can say all your blood and your curses

Nobody I've seen a hanging around

 Seen a hanging around

 I aint seen my home in half a year

 I miss my mother and my friends

 With Maria I've been praying

 For that trouble to finally end

 But when this whole thing is over

 And we land in Ashbury's arms

 And the bands all quiet down

 And it's you and me in the dark

 I won't say nothing

 Cuz that's how I know your heart

 I won't say nothing

 Cuz that's how I know your heart

Who else can say that about you, baby?

Who else can say that about you, now?

Who else can say all your blood and your curses

Nobody I've seen a hanging around

 Seen a hanging around

Who else can say that about you, baby?

Who else can say that about you, now?

Who else can say all your blood and your curses

Nobody I've seen a hanging around

 Seen a hanging around
