And If We Fight

And if we fight

Let them call it battle

Let it stir up rocky love

That comes to shake me in the saddle

Another knight

Let them call him noble

Just for going bravely where

A thousand men have gone before

But I'm afraid

Of promises made

Of staring down the barrel

Of these plans we called best-laid

Of safe and sound

Of holding ground

And if we dance

Let it be on starbeams

Let them tear the sky in two

Let spill the diamonds forth from our dreams

Into our hands

Let us be the lovers

The ones who bear the flag

And beat the drum for all to hear

But I'm afraid

[I'm afraid]

Of promises made

[Promises made]

Of staring down the barrel

Of these plans we called best-laid

Of safe and sound

[Safe and sound]

Of holding ground
