Darling Listen Close Poem by Mockingjay Mellark

Darlin' listen close
I know you're gettin old
And you say you don't need me anymore

So I'll step back, now's my cue
But I'll be waiting here for you
Cause I will love you always

I'll be here when the storm is lashing
I'll be here when things ain't working
I'll be here forever and ever

I'll be here when you need me most
I'll be here when you feel you don't
Cause I will love you always

So don't say goodbye forever
Don't make things sound like never
This stage will one day end
I'll be waiting for you in the wings
Waiting for you in the eaves
Cause I will love you always
Always

So darling lend me your ear
I know we ain't so near
Like we used to be

So I'll step back, now's my cue
But I'll be waiting here for you
Cause I will love you always

I'll be here when things are great
I'll be here when things just ain't
I'll be here forever and ever

I'll be here when you call my name
I'll be here when you're okay
Cause I will love you always

So don't say goodbye forever
Don't make things sound like never
This stage will one day end
I'll be waiting for you in the wings
Waiting for you in the eaves
Cause I will love you always
Always

So darling heed those words
As you head towards
The future that awaits you

So I'll step back, now's my cue
But I'll be waiting here for you
Cause I will love you always

I'll be here when you feel fear
I'll be here when you need me dear
I'll be here forever and ever

I'll be here in the dark night
I'll be here in the sunlight
Cause I will love you always

So don't say goodbye forever
Don't make things sound like never
This stage will one day end
I'll be waiting for you in the wings
Waiting for you in the eaves
Cause I will love you always
Always
