lyrics

Too Dark For Dolly

I'm not shy of an ugly truth and I'm partial to a good cry
I don't need an excuse to sing country or blues
I don't need asking why
I'm always open and ready to sing words that should never be said
But I sweeten those sins like a cold, black coffee in a 24 hour cafe

I serve my heart for breakfast
I pour out my soul like tea
I offer my secrets, present and past
On a plate that's never empty
Sometimes I say too much, sometimes I give too much away
Like when I wrote a love song for Dolly and never heard from her again

Ch)
Was it just too dark for Dolly?
Too sinister? Too mean?
Was it just too dark for Dolly?
Too woeful or too weird?
Was it just too dark for Dolly?
Was it darker than Jolene?
It seems what’s too dark for Dolly
Is just dark enough for me

More 95's, less 9 to 5's
More self-referential than the good book
I leave my melodious diary open
So you all can have a good look
Not every line is golden
No, not every word is true
And my skies never rhyme with anything normal
And they're almost never blue

Ch)…

I serve my thoughts for dinner
I offer poetry for dessert
I decant my woes like a fine Bordeaux
And always get sick as a result
Sometimes it gets uncomfortable
Like cruel jokes or nudity
Alas, it was all just too dark for Dolly
So I guess this one’s for me

Ch)…
