Don't Worry Baby


She's torn between love and sin.
The lighthouse or the sailor's grin.
He docks that evening, coming in,
And pours her one more glass of gin.

Between each sip of gin and beer,
He leans in closer, scooting near,
The bar is noisy, he can't hear,
Then whispers softly in her ear.

Chorus
Don't worry baby,
I won't miss a thing.
Let me be your guiding light,
Your valiant knight, your king.
Don't worry baby

His sweet facade had broken, and,
She takes a full glass from his hand,
Anything that she can do to drown out his demands.

Another night, another drink.
She can't recall, she cannot think,
She cannot tell she's on the brink.
When he whispers once more with a wink.

Chorus
Don't worry baby,
I won't miss a thing.
Let me be your guiding light,
Your valiant knight, your king.
Don't worry baby

Then one night in the quiet air,
Alone and wrecked, beyond repair.
She thought she heard her mother clear, as crystal 'cross the sea.

That night she dared to ask for more,
And picked herself up off the floor.
She had to make a change before,
She could finally be free.

Chorus
Don't worry baby,
You're just second-string,
I will rise to greater heights.
You're the jestor, I'm the Queen.
Don't worry baby
