I Will Follow You into the Dark

Love of mine, someday you will die

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 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

I will follow you into the dark

In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black

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

I will follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary, and the soles of our shoes

Are all worn down, but time for sleep is now

It's nothing to cry about, 'cause we'll hold each other soon

In 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

I will follow you into the dark

I will follow you into the dark
