Lyrics
Love of mine,
some day (Dm)you will die,
but I’ll be (Bb)close be hind.
I’ll fol low you
in to the dark.
No (F)blind ing light
or tun nels to (Dm)gates of white,
just our hands (Bb)clasped so tight,
wait ing for
the hint of a (C)spark.
If (Dm)heav en and hell de cide
that they both are sat is fied,
il (Dm)lu mi nate the “no’s”
on their va
can cy signs;
if (Dm)there’s no one be side you
when your (A)soul
em barks,
then (Bb)I’ll fol low you in to the dark.
In Cath ’lic school,
as vi cious as (Dm)Ro man rule,
I got my (Bb)knuck les bruised
by a la
dy in black.
I (F)held my tongue
as she (Dm)told me, “Son,
fear is the (Bb)heart of love.”
So I nev
er went back.
If
(F)You and me
have seen ev ’ry (Dm)thing to see,
from Bang kok to (Bb)Cal ga ry,
and the soles
of your shoes
are (F)all worn down.
The time for (Dm)sleep is now,
but it’s noth ing to (Bb)cry a bout,
’cause we’ll hold
each oth er soon
in the black
est of rooms.
If (Dm)heav en and hell de cide
that they both are sat is fied,
il (Bb)lu mi nate the “no’s”
on their va
can cy signs;
if (Dm)there’s no one be side you
when your (A)soul
em barks,
then (Bb)I’ll fol low you in to the dark.
Then (Bb)I’ll fol low you in to the dark.
