Darlin' it's so dark
In this house
'Cept for this light
My slow candle burning
And I know you're somewhere
I always did feel it
I got a new song
You might never hear
Goodnight, Irene
I got your trouble
I read your letters
You sent like a bomb
And when you're gone
We're all gonna miss you
Your perfume like cigarettes and the sea
My name that you always wore like grief
Goodnight, Irene
I grew up kind of lonesome
The saint of the sinners
The voice of the dogs
You find in the rain
So I just keep working
I just keep driving
Nobody writes
The blues anymore
And in my mind
There's a dream
Where the telephone rang
Just before the ring
Took a vow and abandoned her hand
In a closet where white dresses hang
Were eyes declaring war
