Darlene

I've been writing you letters. You've been waiting by the phone

They say loneliness gets better if you just leave it alone

Heard you're waiting by the railway, heard you're waiting there for me

I'm still out here on the highway, just looking for my sweet Darlene

The highway ain't the weary. It'll turn your heart cold as stone

Waking up every morning, asking God why am I still alone

Heard you're waiting in a small town. Heard you're waiting there for me

I'm on a red-eye telling tall tales with visions of my sweet Darlene

I've been betting with the gamblers. I've been drinking with the fools

Up all night with the ramblers, still couldn't walk my way back to you

Heard you're waiting in São Paulo, heard you're waiting there for me

Maybe I'll hold you there tomorrow, in your arms, my sweet Darlene

In your arms, my sweet Darlene
