I Will Follow You Into The Dark

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 no's 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 no's 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
The blackest of rooms.

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's 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.
