Take me in your arms, let me rest awhile,
I found I’ve got nowhere else to turn
I can’t make a promise, won’t tell you a lie
In love, at the end, someone dies or someone gets burned
And I have walked thro’ all those fires myself
I hope I never have to walk there again
People like to swear by the moon, the stars, the sun…
All I ever swore by was love, sweet love
All I ever swore by was love…
Take me to bed, hold me awhile
I don’t have the strength to staying standing with this heavy heart
Couldn’t care – a – less what anyone says
Without your embrace I’d be blown so far, wide apart
Because I’ve been walking with the shadow of death
I’ll be walking these hills for years so no one hold your breath
People like to swear by the sword, the stone, the word
All I ever swore by was love, careless love
All I ever swore by was love…
I’ll take you to heart the best that I can
But you know I’ll be wearing this long, black veil
Still, we’ve been blessed much more than we planned
Your kindness shines thro’ like a shimmering spell
And I know that you have walked thro’ fires yourself
I hope you never have to walk there again
People like to swear by the moon, the stars, the sun, the sword, the stone, the word
Oh why won’t they swear by love?
Tell me why, why won’t they won’t swear by love?
Tell me why? Why? Why?
