Darlin
Frankie Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime
Darlin' you're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line
Takin' me some paper
Pencil in my hand
I'm gonna write
Darlin' you know I feel the cold nights
Thinking of the old nights
Spent along with you

Darlin' the tear is in my eye now
Knowing I can try now
To make it back to you

Darlin'
Love you more than ever
Wish we were together
Darlin' of mine

Darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime
Darlin' you're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line

Oh my darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime

Darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime

Darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome




I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime

Overall Meaning

The song "Darlin'" by Frankie Miller is a melancholic composition about a man who is separated from his lover and feeling lonely. The first stanza of the song introduces the theme by stating that the singer would want to call his lover but cannot because he does not have any money. The second verse shows that the man has resorted to writing on paper to cope with the loneliness. He is thinking about the happy times he spent with his lover and how he feels cold without her.


The chorus of the song repeats the theme of loneliness and the man's desire to be with his lover. This is further emphasized by the line "Love you more than ever. Wish we were together. Darlin' of mine". The final verse reveals that the man is now determined to make it back to his lover despite being so far away. The song's slow tempo and expressive lyrics create a sense of sorrow and yearning.
