I Will Follow You into the Dark

Love of mine

Someday you will die

But 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 a 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

Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school

As vicious as Roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised

By a lady in black

And 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

Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me

Have seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary

And the soles of your shoes

Are all worn down

The time for sleep is now

But it's nothing to cry about

'Cause we'll hold each other soon

In the blackest of rooms

And if heaven and hell decide

That they both are satisfied

And illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

Then I'll follow you into the dark
