Lyrics
Through the long long night, when daylight fails
and the beasts of the forest wrap themselves in their tails
to sleep through winter awake with the spring
And the valley of danger with birdsongs ring
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
Through the false tribulations and the true actual pain
Through the torrents of cloud with their fingers of rain
That beat on the shutters and creep under the door
Leave signatures in sediment that seep across the floor
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
Through the moral situations when both my hands are tied
And either way I waver seems to be the losing side
Through the things I bring upon myself
And those that come for free
I will keep my faith in you If you will keep your faith in me
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you
