In The Dark

In your passenger seat
I watch the moon
And gathering clouds, rising
You start to scream out
"Baby, this is my part,"
Every part is your part
When we're sitting here
In the dark

Cigarette smoke fills the car
In this southern state
I undo my seatbelt
You're more than I can take
I want to feel you weak
You kiss my hand and cheek
In the dark

Sometimes sometimes I swear
You're something that was all I need
And when you whisper to me
Baby baby baby you're all I need
And maybe I can't write this down
Or tell the truth to you
But this is all I need
In the dark, with you.

And you can tell 'bout your yellow bird
But baby she just went and flew away
You can tell me 'bout your little birds
But baby, that just makes me stay

Sometimes sometimes I swear
You're something that was all I need
And when you whisper to me
Baby baby baby you're all I need
And maybe I can't write this down
Or tell the truth to you
But this is all I need
In the dark, with you.
