Old time fav!

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
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
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
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 I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
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 have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

Vitea Summa Brevis Spem - nos Vetat incohare longam

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
out of a misty dream
our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.

Forever and Always!

so the story goes on down
the less traveled road
Its a variation on
the one I was told
and although its not the same
its awful close, yeah

in an ordinary fairy tale land
there's a promise of a perfect happy end
and I imagine having just short of that
is better than nothing

so you'll be mine
forever and almost always
and I'll be fine
just love me when you can
and I'll wait patiently
I'll wake up every day
just hoping that you still care

in the corner of my mind I know too well
oh that surely even I deserve the best
but instead of leaving
I just put the issue to bed
and outta my head

oh and just when I believe
you've changed for good
well you go and prove me wrong
just like I knew you would
when I run out of second chances
you give me that look
and you're off the hook

because you're mine
forever and almost always
and I'm fine
just love me when you can
and I'll wait patiently
I'll wake up every day
just hoping that you still care

oh, what am I still doing here?
oh, its all becoming so clear
