Love of mine 00:24
Someday you will die 00:27
But I'll be close behind 00:30
I'll follow you into the dark 00:33
No blinding light 00:37
Or tunnels to gates of white 00:39
Just our hands clasped so tight 00:42
Waiting for the hint of a spark 00:45
If heaven and hell decide 00:50
That they both are satisfied 00:52
Illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs 00:55
If there's no one beside you 01:01
When your soul embarks 01:04
Then I'll follow you into the dark 01:08
In Catholic school 01:14
As vicious as Roman rule 01:16
I got my knuckles bruised 01:20
By a lady in black 01:23
And I held my tongue 01:26
As she told me, "Son 01:29
Fear is the heart of love" 01:32
So I never went back 01:35
If heaven and hell decide 01:39
That they both are satisfied 01:41
Illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs 01:45
If there's no one beside you 01:51
When your soul embarks 01:54
Then I'll follow you into the dark 01:58
You and me 02:04
Have seen everything to see 02:06
From Bangkok to Calgary 02:09
And the soles of your shoes 02:13
Are all worn down 02:16
The time for sleep is now 02:18
But it's nothing to cry about 02:21
'Cause we'll hold each other soon 02:25
In the blackest of rooms 02:28
And if heaven and hell decide 02:36
That they both are satisfied 02:39
And illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs 02:42
If there's no one beside you 02:48
When your soul embarks 02:51
Then I'll follow you into the dark 02:55
Then I'll follow you into the dark 03:01

[English]

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
