Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I''m leavin' home on the first train tomorrow
I caught it home cause it's where I leave my sorrow
So a goodbye Pappy
Goodbye Ma
Goodbye chicken and the rest of it all
Yeah the rest of it all

If I had any sense
If I had my innocence
I'd take you home with me
I'd take you home with me
I'd take you home with me, darlin'
I'd take you home with me

Someday soon I'll be walking down the street
Swinging hands with someone I'm bound to meet
And if you see me
Will you, tip your head
Will you pull the curtains
Will you hold me back?

So a goodbye lover
Goodbye friend
Goodbye baby and all we ever been
Yeah all we ever been

If I had any sense
If I had my innocence
I'd take you home with me
I'd take you home with me
I'd take you home with me, darlin'
I'd take you home with me

Oh we ran through the woods like some wild kids
Oh we knew nothin sept abandonment
Oh forgiveness
You got nothing on me
Sept your pocket watch and your golden key
Why don't you just take me
Take me
Why don't you just take me
Take me

So goodbye Pappy
Goodbye Ma
Goodbye chicken and the rest of it all
Yeah the rest of it all
Yeah the rest of it all
Yeah the rest of it all

Take you home with me
I'll take you home with me
Take you home with me
Darlin', I'll take you home with me

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' Clementine
They were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' Clementine
Now we're lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' Clementine




They were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of emilywells's song Darlin is a combination of emotions ranging from longing, nostalgia to regret. The song begins with the singer talking about leaving their home on the first train, as they believe it's where they can leave their sorrows. The stanza says goodbye to the singer's parents, chicken, and everything else that's part of their home. The singer conveys that they would have taken the person they address as "darlin'" with them if they had their sense and innocence. The chorus repeats this line also reflecting the singer's desire and regret not taking their loved one with them.


The second stanza talks about the singer seeing the said "darlin'" someday, and if they do meet, they ask if they would recognize them. The singer talks about how the "darlin'" would react, and the emotions they'd feel, whether they'd want to hold the singer back or pull the curtains. In the end, the singer ultimately says goodbye to their lover, friend, and everything with a mention of them having gone through the woods and being wild kids. The last part of the song takes inspiration from a famous American song, "Oh My Darling, Clementine" that talks about the sorrow of losing a lover. The song ends with a repetition of taking the "darlin'" home with them.

Спасибо вам огромное за этот шедевр, очень магическая и атмосферная музыка

Cynthia Wolfe-Nolin

No matter how many times I see and hear this beauty, I smile whole heartedly inside. I am grateful

EvansAbove

this woman's voice is so incredibly, sensationally smooth

Serenity L.

she's not "super rich" because she doesn't need or want to be.  she's been offered recording deals with bigger companies, but chooses to stay true to herself and do her own thing.  i think it's wonderful we still have musicians out there who keep it real and don't become mainstream. It's a true testament to their passion and what they do - since they don't make a ton of money and often struggle quite a bit financially. i really respect her a lot for keeping her music what she wants it to be and keeping it in the hands of those who do it justice.

да вы ебабельски правы лять юнная леди

Anuya Thorat

Respect doubled!

Sofers

Хотелось бы очень узнать партитуры к этому произведению, хочется выучить и играть в горах на гитаре, за костром, при палатках и под ночным небом

Julcisko

Simply beautiful. She´s a pure talent. I like every song of her.
