E D A E
Come in, come in, come in, come in
E D A E
From under these darling skies, come in
E D
It's warm and it's safe here
A E
And almost harkening
E D A
Off to a time and place now lost
E
On our imagination

A E
Where you don't complain -- but you still do
A E
And you don't explain -- if you want to -- explain
B A
What you believe you say without shame -- 'I just do'
C#m A
To say what you mean you don't mean what you say -- or you do?

B A
Where the wild are strong
C#m A
And the strong are the darkest ones
E B A
And you're the darkest one

Come in, come in, come in, come in
From thin and wicked prairie winds, come in
It's warm and it's safe here
And almost harkening
Here in a time and place not lost
On our imagination

Where you don't explain -- but you still do
And you can complain -- if you want to -- complain
Where you're real instrumental or supple or sexy as hell
Where you say 'I believe' or say without shame, 'I can tell'

Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one
O' and you're the darkest one
And if that's what you want
O' then you're the darkest one
