It's a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame
The dark clouds gather along the way they came
There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain
There's heartache and heartbreak in the shadow of the flame

And 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
And somewhere in the distance we try and catch it all
Success lasts for a moment and failure's always near
But you look down at your blistered hands as turns another year

And this love will carry, this love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
And this love will carry, this love will carry me
I know this love will carry me

And so these days are golden, they must not fade away
Our time is like that flower and soon it will decay
And though by storms we're weakened, uncertainty is sure
Like the coming of the dawn it's ours for evermore

And this love will carry, this love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
And this love will carry, this love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
