There's safety in the firin' line
There's black ice on the road
I'm sleepless in the nighttime hours
Of a boat breached out at the storm

We lost the light of the mornin' star
And we wonder where's the way
The horde is gathered in fervor now
They all shout words they can't say

Darlin' don't you worry
About the crowd
Cause they're tearing their tongues
Oh, quiet them down
Darlin' if you're leaving
Don't leave me alone
Darlin' if I'm losing again
Quiet me down
Cause I'll have plenty of time
To think about it
I'll have plenty of time
To think about it

There's safety in the firin' line
There's black ice on the road
A thorn in each and every side
Of her white dress already sold

Darlin' don't you worry
About the crowd
Cause they still tear at their tongues
Oh, quiet them down
Darlin if you're leaving
Don't leave me now
Darlin' if I'm losing again
Quiet me down

Cause I'll have plenty of time
To think about it
I'll have plenty of time
To think about it

And you
I won't let you down
And you
I won't let you down
And you
I won't let you down
And you...
