lyrics  (or you can return to the main lord eric page)

Oh Darla

I was a lonely soul
I was not superstrong at all
TKO'd but I kept on swinging
I ran the marathon
Got to the end and felt so terribly alone
Sometimes there's no point in going home

Don't you see she was the sun for me
No one else could ever be so true
Now something's really new

Oh Darla
I feel a change coming on
All the love that you keep bringing
Will you help me fail to belong
All the love that you keep bringing home
Rock on
Rock on

I missed the curtain call
I lost the audience of all
Foolish me, I just kept on singing
I grabbed the microphone
Downed some sambuca and I wrote myself a song
Sometimes there's no strength in being strong

Don't you see she was the only one
I lost my best friend and I won't be healing soon
So help me call the tune

Oh Darla
I feel a change coming on
All the love that you keep bringing
Will you help me fail to belong
All the love that you keep bringing home
Rock on
Rock on

Don't you know she wore the world upon her skin
And don't you know there was just no way we could win
And can't you see
She was the deepest part, the darkest heart of me
And she will never really ever set me free
