When the trees all cease to flower
And the fruits of our labour sour
Will you scrape the taste of lemons from my tongue?
Would you stop me before we've even begun?
Could you help my wooden bones come back to life?
I promise you I cannot tell a lie
So love please won't you stay a while
Hide away with me for just a while more
When the tides rise high around me
And the salt clings tight to drown me
Will you hold my hand and pull me from her grasp?
Would you dry these tired eyes if I just asked?
Could you steer this wooden boat back towards the light?
I promise you I cannot tell a lie
So love please won't you stay a while?
Sail away with me for just a while more
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
Oh I
When the skies all cry and darken
And the sun can't reach our garden
Will you watch the boats come in from stormy seas?
Will you sit with me beneath the lemon trees?
I'll help your wooden bones learn how to fly
I promise next to you is where I'll lie
Oh love just look into my eyes
Won't you stay with me for just a while more?
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
Oh I
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark
Oh I . . .
