The Tragically Hip
"The Darkest One"


Come in, come in, come in, come in
from under these darling skies come in
it's warm and it's safe here and almost
harkening
off to a time and place now lost on our
imagination

where you don't complain -but you still
do
and you don't explain-if you want to-
explain
what you believe you say without shame,
'I just do'
to say what you mean you don't mean
what you say
-or you do

where the wild are strong
and the strong are the darkest ones
and you're the darkest one

LyricsCome in, come in, come in, come in
from thin and wicked prarie winds, come in
its warm and its safe here and almost
heartening
here in a time and place not lost on our
imagination

where you dont explain-but you still do
and you can complain-if you want to-
complain
where you're real instrumental or supple
or sexy as hell
where you say 'I believe' or say without
shame,
'I cant tell'

where the wild are strong
and the strong are the darkest ones
and you're the darkest one
O' and you're the darkest one
and if thats what you want
O' then you're the darkest one
