Won't you hold me through the shakes, darling?

Well, it's fine if you cut and run

At first light of the cresting sun

But right now I'm fiending

And if you're still in town

When my better days roll around

We'll heat this ground

And dance like two hearts bleeding.

This city is so loud and the hotel kicked me out

Do you think that she's still proud looking down?

The world got so confusing, I'm a tool for cheap amusement

And they all hate me from here to tennessee.

So hold me through the shakes, although it's more than I can take

There ain't no choice for damaged boys like me

Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than you can take

And when you wake, you'll still be my darling

When you wake, I'm yours to take, darling.

Let me have my bloody knuckles

All my nights and dark cold trouble

When I was through I was hoping

You might wait for me

They made me out to be

Something I don't understand

How I am just a man, my darling.

Now I'm lost in denver

With a postcard I could send ya

But I don't know of any good it'd do

So I'll photograph the lights

'cause they remind me of your eyes

And pray for you until I untangle this blue.

Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than I can take

There ain't no choice for damaged boys like me

Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than you can take

And when you wake, you'll still be my darling

When you wake, I'm yours to take, darling.

Well, hold me through the shakes, although it's more than I can take

There ain't no choice for damaged boys like me

Hold me through the shakes, although it's more than you can take

And when you wake, you'll still be my darling

When you wake, I'm yours to take, darling.
