I Will Follow You into the Dark Lyrics

[00:24.95] Love of mine
[00:27.08] Someday you will die
[00:30.12] But I'll be close behind
[00:33.22] I'll follow you into the dark
[00:37.14] No blinding light
[00:39.68] Or tunnels to gates of white
[00:42.63] Just our hands clasped so tight
[00:46.10] Waiting for the hint of a spark
[00:49.72] If heaven and hell decide
[00:52.23] That they both are satisfied
[00:55.88] Illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs
[01:02.17] If there's no one beside you
[01:05.05] When your soul embarks
[01:08.29] Then I'll follow you into the dark
[01:14.43] In Catholic school
[01:16.97] As vicious as Roman rule
[01:20.27] I got my knuckles bruised
[01:23.45] By a lady in black
[01:26.83] And I held my tongue
[01:29.45] As she told me, "Son
[01:32.64] Fear is the heart of love"
[01:35.80] So I never went back
[01:39.46] If heaven and hell decide
[01:42.07] That they both are satisfied
[01:45.51] Illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs
[01:51.88] If there's no one beside you
[01:54.75] When your soul embarks
[01:57.81] Then I'll follow you into the dark
[02:04.23] You and me
[02:06.42] Have seen everything to see
[02:09.57] From Bangkok to Calgary
[02:13.00] And the soles of your shoes
[02:16.59] Are all worn down
[02:18.89] The time for sleep is now
[02:22.02] But it's nothing to cry about
[02:25.53] 'Cause we'll hold each other soon
[02:28.68] In the blackest of rooms
[02:34.04]
[02:36.66] And if heaven and hell decide
[02:39.04] That they both are satisfied
[02:42.50] And illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs
[02:48.89] If there's no one beside you
[02:51.62] When your soul embarks
[02:55.08] Then I'll follow you into the dark
[03:01.05] Then I'll follow you into the dark
[03:05.02]
