I know this love will carry me

Lyrics:

It's a thin line that leads us, and keeps a man from shame

And dark clouds quickly gather along the way he came

There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain

There's heartbreak and heart-ache in the shadow of the flame

Chorus:

But this love will carry, this love will carry me

I know this love will carry me

The strongest web will tangle, the sweetest bloom will fall

And somewhere in the distance we try and catch it all

Success lasts for a moment and failure's always near

And you look down at your blistered hands as turns another year

Chorus

These days are golden, they must not waste away

For our time is like that flower and soon it will decay

And though by storms we're weakened, uncertainty is sure

And like the coming of the dawn it's ours forevermore

Chorus
