(Cave / Coulais)
|
|
Across the oceans across the seas,
|
Over forests of blackened trees.
|
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe,
|
To be by your side.
|
|
Over the shifting desert plains,
|
Across mountains all in flames.
|
Through howling winds and driving rains,
|
To be by your side.
|
|
Every mile and every year,
|
For everyone a little tear.
|
I cannot explain this, dear,
|
I will not even try.
|
|
Into the night as the stars collide,
|
Across the borders that divide
|
Forests of stone standing petrified,
|
To be by your side.
|
|
Every mile and every year,
|
For every one a single tear,
|
I cannot explain this, dear,
|
I will not even try.
|
|
For I know one thing,
|
Love comes on a wing,
|
For tonight I will be by your side,
|
But tomorrow I will fly.
|
|
From the deepest ocean to the highest peak,
|
Through the frontiers of your sleep.
|
Into the valley where we dare not speak,
|
To be by your side.
|
Across the endless wilderness,
|
Where all the beasts bow down their heads.
|
Darling, I will never rest
|
Till I am by your side.
|
|
Every mile and every year,
|
Time and distance disappear
|
I cannot explain this, dear no,
|
I will not even try.
|
|
And I know just one thing,
|
Love comes on a wing
|
And tonight I will be by your side.
|
But tomorrow I will fly away,
|
Love rises with the day
|
And tonight I may be by your side.
|
But tomorrow I will fly, tomorrow I will fly,
|
Tomorrow I will fly.
