Oh Darlin, What Have I Done Lyrics
Oh darlin, darlin
What have I done?
Well I've been away from you too long
And all my days have turned to darkness
And I believe my heart has turned to stone
Oh darlin, darlin
What have I done?
Now I don't say anything at all
Well God don't listen to the noise
Now I'm left here all alone
Ooh, oh, I hear what the neighbors say
That that poor boy has lost his way
And I let the others pray
Oh darlin, darlin
What have I done?
Now I do my talking with a gun
And blood will spill into the gutters
And it will stain the morning sun
Ooh, oh tell me what the hell I've done
Can I stop at one?
Or have I just begun?
Take out the bodies that live
Oh, Lord, it gets me high
I think I'm gonna get my fill
Of taking lives
Oh, Lord, I don't wanna let my baby down
Well I just wanna give us something one of a kind
Oh darlin, darlin
What have I done?
I've been a stray from you too long
And all my days have turned to darkness
Hell is leaving the light on
And ooh, oh they'll hang me way up high
God himself will drop me from the sky
And let me swing a while
Oh darlin, darlin
What have I done?

What have I done?
What have I done?
Well I've been away from you too long
And all my days have turned to darkness
And I believe my heart has turned to stone
What have I done?
Now I don't say anything at all
Well God don't listen to the noise
Now I'm left here all alone
That that poor boy has lost his way
And I let the others pray
What have I done?
Now I do my talking with a gun
And blood will spill into the gutters
And it will stain the morning sun
Can I stop at one?
Or have I just begun?
Oh, Lord, it gets me high
I think I'm gonna get my fill
Of taking lives
Well I just wanna give us something one of a kind
What have I done?
I've been a stray from you too long
And all my days have turned to darkness
Hell is leaving the light on
God himself will drop me from the sky
And let me swing a while
What have I done?

The White Buffalo is not very popular here... Big mistake!
Great song. I often listen neo-cantry with the likes of Eels, Pagoda - they mix up pretty well.
So, this song's about evil spirits inside of you, that makes you a different person, a monster. You are trying so hard to keep it inside of you, but sometimes it doesn't work. Some thing happened and it blows your mind, you can't control yourself and do the shit that will make you regret for the rest of your life... Often such a crazy situations happens when you're in relations with girl, you probably love her, but can't stop doubting and settle down. Then you make huge mistakes...
@MrGrunge I agree with you, White Buffalo deserves more attention...I agree with you about the meaning too I just want to add that maybe he cut the cord with other people and lost sense of reality of others and took time for facing his inner evil demons and he lost the fight... He is letting them rule now over him, but he is aware of his failure and that is causing him so much pain... He let down others, he let down his girl, he let down himself and he let down God... He wants to fix everything, he wants...

He wants to fix everything, he wants to make something great and good for others, but his hands are tied. That that poor boy has lost his way...
@Magena17 You're so right! White Buffalo really delivers! Check out his songs Damned and Love Song #1, not talking about The Whistler (audio anywhere) and my comments to them (on this site) - you'll find some gems in his lyrics def!
