When I arrived in my old set of clothes 

I was half a world away from my home 

and I was hunted by the wolves 

and I was heckled by the crows 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



Alongside my innocence I laid in bed awake 

conflicted and in chains with the impetus of age 

but like a phantom she crept across the floor and out the window 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



From its place on the mantel my heart was taken down 

scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground 

and I below the streetlamp like an orphan with a halo 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



cuz it won't last 

worries'll pass 

all your troubles they don't stand a chance 

and sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



Your confidences fall as your faith etched in stone 

neither could comfort you from the wild unknown 

so bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



If you have a broken heart or a battered soul 

find something to hold onto until they go 

to help you through the hard nights 

like a flask filled with hope 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



cuz it won't last 

your worries'll pass 

all your troubles they don't stand a chance 

and it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



sometimes your path is marked in the sky 

sometimes it falls too thin in between the lines 

sometimes all you can do is say no 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



I said when I arrived in my old set of clothes 

I was half a world away from my home 

and I was hunted by the wolves 

and I was heckled by the crows 

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 

I said Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know 



We said Darlin' do not fear…
