As the years pass
And the world begins to weigh upon your shoulder,
And the clouds spread
To enshroud you in their mystery, their strife.
As the sky roars
With the thunder, lightning, fire and fear of dying . . .
     come to me
         call to me
             run to me then . . .
And my love will ease the burden that is life.

When the sun sets
It's the shining in your eyes I know will guide me
Through the darkness.
I will never have to fear to be alone.
You're my partner
And there's nothing I can't be with you beside me . . .
     stay with me me
         cleave to me
             live with me now . . .
For you are the truest love I've ever known.

When your sweet lips
Are unable to inspire within me music,
And your soft breast
Can no longer set a flame within my heart.
When your soul's love
Cannot save me from the hell of self destruction . . .
     turn from me
         cry for me
             run from me then . . .
Lest my love be your undoing must we part.
