Darkhouse - Eddi Reader

The moon flies past the darkhouse

Shines a light in

She is in a corner, cornered

And the dust fills everything

She thought she needed saving

By the prince of hopelessness

She dreams of Barbie dolls and lemonade

And she’s nowhere near it

The moon flies past the darkhouse

Shines a light in

He left on the ten-fifteen

While the kids were sleeping

Oh his talk so sweet

And she’s a sugar junkie

St Francis and the jewel thief

Living in the dark in the darkhouse

St Francis and the jewel thief

Living in the dark in the darkhouse

Is that the price

Crawling to paradise

All the way, all the way

On your knees, on your knees

Yeah, yeah, yeah, on your knees

A car flies past the darkhouse

Throws a light in

From here she sees the corner

Where he left her crying

She thought she needed saving

By the prince of hopelessness

He dreams of Barbie dolls and lemonade

She was nowhere near it

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Crawling to paradise

Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, on your knees

Yeah, yeah, yeah, on your knees
