Our Love Will Carry On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She stood on the hill Near the land that I tilled And she wore a red dress Though I couldn't care less She's as beautiful now As on the very first day that we met I was dead and alone And I held what I owned Just a bottle of sin that I've tried to disown Since the day I was born The devil has made me his home She wasn't the same When she called out my name Like a raven who's lost Or a child in pain She is haunted and lame And I am the reason to blame Well, I've poured my last glass As I've done in the past And I'll do it again If you give me the chance If you give me a light I will give you my last breath (And she said...) [Chorus] "Oh, the dead have come and gone Our love will carry on And though I am praying for this evening to end Our love will carry on" [Verse 2] I looked in her eyes The most beautiful eyes I was sick in my thoughts And I wanted to die And I prayed for the end Oh Lord, how I prayed for the end She reached for my hand And she kissed all its scars Now the roses are dead And she fell in my arms As we kissed on the lips I fell back in the abyss (And she said...) [Chorus] "Oh, the dead have come and gone Our love will carry on And though I am praying for this evening to end Our love will carry on" [Instrumental bridge] [Chorus] "Oh, the dead have come and gone Our love will carry on And though I am praying for this evening to end Our love will carry on"
