Tedeschi Trucks Band – Darling Be Home Soon
Tedeschi Trucks Band – Darling Be Home Soon – Live
The song still has that emotional power all these years later; obviously, many great performers sing it. This version has a nice soulful feel but with Susan’s voice, it maintains the necessary poignancy! Nice trumpet and backup singers. These people have extended this song’s life with a haunting and compelling take and introduced it to new, younger ears. If you don’t know where rock and roll has gone — it’s healthy and living with Tedeschi Trucks Band. Rap and hip-hop have nothing on this!
These two have got to be the coolest couple ever. To be able to work together, make today’s most amazing music, raise a family, and build the love of thousands of fans worldwide, all while apparently being humble, real human beings is such a rare, rare, rare thing!
Lyrics
Come and talk of all the things we did today
Here and laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it’s time you must leave
But darling be home soon
I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It’s not just these few hours but I’ve been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed
I think I’ve come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom
So darling be home soon
I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It’s not just these few hours but I’ve been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It’s not just these few hours but I’ve been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It’s ok to shoot the moon
