The smell of man that now scents your wings

And with that, brings a change in things

Banished forever from the sacred nest

On your snow-white breast

I feel there's still unrest



I said, hey, darlin' one

Your time has come

Hey, darlin' one



Five hundred midnights since have passed

Since i held you fast

You were safe at last

Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame

So young and tame

I was to blame



N' i call your name, darlin' one

Your time has come

I said hey, darlin' one

Your time has just begun



I cupped my hands around you

And i swore you would fly

My tears fell through the dirt

As i heaved you to the sky



And i heard, "darlin' one

Your time has come

Your time has come

Hey, darlin', darlin', darlin' one"



Hey, darlin' one, your time has come
