It's a thin line that leads us
and keeps us all from shame
and dark clouds quickly gather
along the way we came
there's fear out on the mountain
and death out on the plains
there's heart-break and heart-ache
in the shadow of the flame

this love will carry
this love will carry me
I know this love will carry me

The strongest web will tangle
the sweetest bloom will fall
but somewhere in the distance
well we try and catch it all
success lasts for a moment
and failure's always near
and you look down at your blistered hands
as turns another year

this love will carry
this love will carry me
I know this love will carry me

So these days are golden
they must not waste away
and time is like that flower
and soon it will decay
and though by storms we're weakened
and uncertainty is sure
but like the coming of the dawn
it's ours for ever more

this love will carry
this love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
