I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK

Love of mine, someday you will die But I'll be close behind And I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark But if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied And illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black And held my tongue as she told me, "Son, Fear is the heart of love," so I never went back But if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied And illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark You and me we've seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary and the soles of your shoes Are all worn down: the time for sleep is now But it's nothing to cry about 'Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms But if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied And illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark
