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
