[Verse 1]
She could be my gas and water
She could be my electricity
She could be my son and daughter
She could be my daytime TV
She'd be my 17, 39, 48, 25 and more
She'd be my last glass of wine
She could be my drunken phone calls
Well, she could be my sun and moon
And the light that fills the room adawn
She'd be my Hadron collider
My broken typewriter and more
Well she'd be my whiskey and my gin
She could be my Marilyn Monroe
She'd be the day that I left
She could be the day the day that I came home

[Chorus]
And she could take these
Dark days away

[Verse 2]
She'd be my now and then
She could be my future and my long-lost past
She'd be my lover and my friend
She'd be the answer when the question's asked
She'd be my Monday morning, Tuesday night
Saturday, Thursday afternoon
She'd be my "how have you been?"
My "I'm alright" and my "see you soon"
She could be my October winds and my November rain
She'd be my brand new diamond ring and my rusty old chain
Well she could be Middle street half an hour before the sunrise
Well she could be my (?)
She could be the one that keeps me up all night

[Chorus]
And she could take these
Dark days away

She'd be the air that I breathe
And the wind that takes my ashes 'cross the mountains
She'd be the colors that I see, the black holes
The stars and their surrounding
She'd be my dreams and what I'm dreaming
She'd be what I remember bein' awake
She'd be my first memories
My winin' rose in my dyin' days

[Chorus]
And she could take these
Dark days away
Dark days away
Dark days away
