Darling Darlene Lyrics
Swells are churning overboard at midnight
(Lover, help is on the way)
I watch you sink into Atlantic waters
(All alone, on your own, don't be afraid)
Our love like the arms of a sailor
Sturdy, substantial, and true
(To you)
I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me
Show me a map
Where is the compass I packed?
Batten the hatch
Before darling gets deeper
Give me a sign before I run out of time
Pray to God the darkness won't keep her
Sunsets and skylines
You're something that I'll never forget
No, I'll never forget you
I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me
Holding on with open arms
I'll carry you away, girl
I love you
I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
And I know you're out there
And I won't be long
I said I'd save you
And I will
(Lover, help is on the way)
I watch you sink into Atlantic waters
(All alone, on your own, don't be afraid)
Our love like the arms of a sailor
Sturdy, substantial, and true
(To you)
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me
Where is the compass I packed?
Batten the hatch
Before darling gets deeper
Give me a sign before I run out of time
Pray to God the darkness won't keep her
You're something that I'll never forget
No, I'll never forget you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me
I'll carry you away, girl
I love you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
And I won't be long
I said I'd save you
And I will

Who's seen Walk Hard? He's in love with that girl Darlene and he writes that song that goes like "I love you darling" or something like that and it sounds like he's saying Darlene. That's what this reminds me of haha.
what i don't understand about this song is that while he says he loves her, and that he'd die without her, he's gonna save her, blah blah blah... i still get the impression the reason she's drowning is that he pushed her overboard....
?
Here. I can't find my cd insert, but I'm 99.9% positive these are the right lyrics to the parts in question.
Show me a map. Where is the compass I packed? Batten the hatch, before darling gets deeper. Give me a sign before I run out of time, pray to God the darkness won't keep her.
I think its: (All alone, on your own, don't be afraid) Our love like the arms of a sailor Sturdy, substantial, and true (to you)
"what i don't understand about this song is that while he says he loves her, and that he'd die without her, he's gonna save her, blah blah blah... i still get the impression the reason she's drowning is that he pushed her overboard...."
If that's really the case, then it still works as a metaphor.
Why can't Darlene swim?
