Ezra Furman - Darling Corey lyrics

In a darkening café I am hoping you arrive before sundown It's been a year since I've seen you and my life's completely undone now I'm sick in the head and the heart on my sleeve has faded The demands piled up and I got completely alienated I've got a body and a soul and I just can't see the connection I'm in love with the world but the world won't return my affections When you come through the door, the twilight is heavenly and awful I order my coffee black and you order falafels Darling Corey, Darling Corey, [x 2] I think you've put your spell over me now Darling Corey, Darling Corey It's fine I am hyper aware of our circumstances and our stations All the world comes together in mysterious co-operation When we spend time together I know everything will be forgotten With my face on your chest and the salt water soaking the cotton It's a hard luck life when you can't know anything for certain But something in me is rising like a big red velvet curtain I don't wanna be bad any more and I don't wanna be mean Oh the stakes are so high and the beautiful trees are green Darling Corey, Darling Corey, [x 2] A woman from folk mythology Darling Corey, Darling Corey You're mine
